THE State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, has debunked reports that 37 people were killed by terrorists in two communities in the Shiroro Local Government Area, saying that 13 people were killed.
Abiodun who made this refutal in a press statement today said the figures earlier reported were incorrect.
The statement read, “The attention of the command has been drawn to reports that 37 persons were killed in Nakundna and Wurukuchi communities, Shiroro LGA.
“The command wishes to state that on 10/01/2022 at about 1000hrs, suspected bandits/terrorists attacked some villagers who were harvesting crops in their farm at Nakundna village near Kaure in Shiroro LGA, and unfortunately, thirteen (13) persons lost their lives as a result of the attack.
“Details of the incident were not immediately available due to the rough terrain and lack of communication network in the area.”
He assured residents that the police and other security agencies would not relent in the ongoing onslaught against terrorists and other forms of criminality in the state.
