Armed bandits attacked and killed three Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) personnel in Kebbi State.
The terrorists ambushed the FRSC operatives over the weekend while on official duty along the Tsamiya–Illo road in the Bagudo local government area.
The victims were identified as DCRMA Umar Aliyu, SRMA Ezra Manu Gona, and RMA I Mansur Ibrahim Nasir.
As reported by Daily Trust, a local stated this after the tragic incident, adding that the bandits were about 20 in number.
The local added that immediately after killing the FRSC personnel, the bandits retreated into the bush on their motorcycles.
“They tried to escape from the bandits who were on bike but they pursued them with their motorcycles and killed them before they could escape into the bush,”
“They are always coming to attack security operatives in this area. This is about the fifth time they are coming to kill security officers at their duty post in this area.”
The FRSC command in the state has yet to issue any official statement over the incident as of the time of filing this report.
Governor Nasir Idris had convened an emergency security meeting at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi following the spate of bandit attacks in parts of the state.
The security meeting is to strengthen the coordinated efforts aimed at addressing the emerging security challenges in the state.
“My administration will not tolerate or spare anyone found to be an informant. Anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law, and justice will be served.”
