Pandemonium ensued on Thursday when one Nigerian Army officer and two soldiers were killed by bandits in Unguwar Doka village of Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.
It was also gathered that the bandits invaded the villages Thursday night and started shooting indiscriminately. In the process, the soldiers and some civilians were killed. The acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Brig.General Benard Onyeuko, confirmed the incident in a statement issued to journalists at the Special Army Super Camp IV Faskari, Katsina.
He explained that during the encounter, troops neutralized 21 bandits, while others escaped with gunshot wounds into the forest “as evident by the trails of blood along the criminals’ escape route”.
Where did we get it wrong. Our Gallant officers are so vulnerable that they get killed every nook and cranny of the country. I beseech infallible Allah restore peace on our dear land. Amen
Which is Army officer and soldiers again, is Army different from soldiers?
We are not dealing with banditry in Katsina, it's a case of full blown terrorism in the Northwest, just that MANAGERS choose to mince words and call them BANDITS
