Zungeru dam: Communities allege exposure to attacks

Residents of communities around the Zungeru Hydro-Electric Power Dam in Niger State have lamented the attacks they face at from bandits.

The residents also said Zungeru town and Wushishi, the headquarters of Wushishi LGA, had become vulnerable to bandits’ attacks.

They said the construction of the Zungeru dam had further exposed them to banditry attacks because the river that denied bandits access to their communities had dried up due to construction works.

SPONSOR AD

The President of Zungeru Youths Development Association, Idris Abubaka, said this to journalists in Minna while protesting against a call by the Coalition of Concerned Shiroro Youths asking the federal government to rename the Zungeru Hydro-Electric Power Dam to Manta Dam or Shiroro Dam II because the dam is located in Shiroro and not Zungeru.
