“We learnt that when the bandits sighted the Nigerien soldiers coming after them, they waylaid them and killed seven.

“Those that were not killed called for reinforcement from their country and together they went after the bandits, but up till now we don’t know whether they have gone back or not because they did not come back here,” said the resident, who craved anonymity.
