Pregnant Woman Brutally Attacked and Raped by Armed Gang in Nasarawa State
A pregnant woman named Margaret was reportedly raped by a six-man armed gang on a farm in Nasarawa State.
The horrific incident occurred on Friday, July 12, 2024, in Kadiri, Keana Local Government Area, sparking outrage and fear among residents.
According to Nasarawa Mirror, Margaret was working on the farm with her husband when the gang, suspected to be militia, appeared.
Both tried to flee, but due to her condition, Margaret was unable to escape and fell. The armed men then took turns raping her, leaving her bleeding and barely conscious before abandoning her.
Her husband later found her and rushed her to the hospital for medical attention. The brutal attack has intensified fears for the safety of farmers in the area, who face repeated assaults.
The local community, primarily composed of farmers, is appealing to the government for swift intervention and justice for Margaret.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
The All Progressives Congress Lagos State chapter has released the names of its candidates for the House of Representatives in the 2027 elections.

It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
