Troops Repel Gunmen Attack In Godogodo, Kaduna.


Gallant troops of 1 Division Nigerian Army in a joint operation with personnel of Nigeria Police and local vigilantes on Sunday, September 25th, repelled a coordinated attack by gunmen on Godogodo town of Kaduna State.

A statement by the Army spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, said 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.

He said four 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." added Col. Usman
