Bandits activities in rural areas of Nigeria's Zamfara State has led to a surge in food prices as dealers avoid purchasing foodstuffs from affected areas, causing shortages in urban areas.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, Nigeria, has ordered the immediate cultivation of 900 hectares of farmland in 3 Local Government Areas to address the food crisis.
Attahiru Bafarawa, a former Sokoto State governor, has warned that Nigeria may face food scarcity unless the government takes urgent measures to address the banditry crisis in the north.
