Residents of Minna metropolis and environs have lamented over the incessant attacks by the youths on the people and communities, leaving many injured and property destroyed.
Youths in their groups have continued to unleash havoc on the innocent citizens in various streets of Minna.
Areas affected included; Barkin Sale to Kpakungu, Stadium road, Limawa and Mobile roundabout among others.
Reports revealed that due to the current attacks many people were injured, maimed, harassed and intimidated while property were destroyed.
According to findings, the well coordinated youth groups who are identified as political thugs usually came out for operations without the required counter attack from the security operatives appropriately.
When contacted, the Niger State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Wasiu Abiodun said the four of the youths have been arrested in two locations of Morris and Stadium road in connection with the attacks, adding that police personnel have been deployed to the identified black spot areas in curbing the menace in Minna and environs.
