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.
