Bandits gang-rape pregnant woman to death, abduct scores in Niger

An expectant mother has been gang-raped to death by terrorists in Dnakundna village in Shiroro local government area of Niger State.
The woman was ambushed by the terrorists when she and others from her village were escaping from the terrorists.

It was learned that the deceased was gang-raped by seven terrorists who later abandoned her with bruises all over her body.

The victim was taken to the hospital by her family where she died on Friday night.
