Terrorists belonging to the Lakurawa group have killed three staff of a leading telecommunication firm barely a week after killing two police officers.
The insurgents were reported to have stormed a construction site at Gumki village in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
A source explained that the deceased were installing a surveillance mast for the Nigeria Immigration Service in the area when the terrorists attacked and killed them and one other person who is unidentified.
A staff of Sir Yahaya Specialist Hospital confirmed that the three of the deceased brought to the hospital were immigration staff.
According to him, “On receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, CP Bello M Sani alongside with the Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Kebbi State Command, CIS Muhammad Bashir Lawali mobilized their men to the scene to evacuate the corpses to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital in Birnin Kebbi.”
He further explained that the Commissioner of Police had deployed additional tactical teams to the area and charged them to decisively deal with the suspected bandits operating in the area.
The PPRO added that the CP had a meeting with people in the area and appealed to them to always assist the police and other security agencies with relevant information for their prompt response.
