Our correspondent further gathered that the criminal elements however met a strong resistance from the military after they first opened fire on the troops.

An eye witness from the community who identified himself as Isaac Apine told newsmen in Makurdi that at about 8pm on Sunday, suspected armed bandits were seen loitering around the area to attack the entire community before a man and his wife ran into them and were shot in the process.

“It was when we heard terrible gunshots that we quickly alerted the military personnel who responded swiftly and came to repel the armed bandits”.

“In fact, if not for the prompt intervention of the military, something terrible more than this could have happened. The military engaged the bandits in a heavy gun dwell and at the end we saw them with three dead bodies.
