Gallant troops of 1 Division Nigerian Army in a joint operation with personnel of Nigeria Police and local vigilantes have today repelled a coordinated attack by gunmen on Godogodo town of Kaduna State.
The troops fought off the attackers and pursued them into the bush inflicting heavy casualty on them. The combined security team also arrested the following 6 suspects : Lawal Gambo, Yau Sani, Bala Amodu, Ibrahim Maikaru, Abubakar Hassan and Bashiru Isa Ciroma.
Unfortunately 4 local vigilantes lost their lives while another 9 were wounded in the course of countering the dastardly attack meant to cause more loss of lives and properties of law abiding citizens of Godogodo Town.
The situation in Godogo Town has since returned to normalcy and efforts are ongoing to track the remaining fleeing bandits.
We wish to
reassure citizens that the effort to safeguard life and property will
continue with renewed vigour until all the rampaging bandits are brought
to justice.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your esteemed medium.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director Army Public Relations
