At least four persons have been confirmed killed while two others sustained varying degrees of injuries from gunmen suspected to be hoodlums at Ofeapo along Idris-Bagana Road in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Aya, confirmed the incident and said one person, the rider of the tricycle, was killed while two others who sustained injuries were rushed to medical facilities in Abejukolo, headquarters of Omala Local Government Area. The monarch decried the incessant attacks on the Bagana people by unknown gunmen, lamenting that “these killings have taken the peace process back, at a time when all hands have been on deck for the safe return of the internally displaced persons to their ancestral homes.”
Sources further revealed that those who were killed are two males and two females who are natives of Bagana but had to relocate to Abejukolo in the wake of the senseless killings in the communities.
