The bandits also set ablaze two operational vehicles of the security personnel, according to Balle who spoke to newsmen on phone.

Recall that gunmen suspected to be terrorists had in the same area last week attacked and killed eight farmers, rustling over 1,260 livestock.

“Many of us residents, escaped the ambush by whisker, thanks to the quick response of the security personnel.

“This attack was in connection with the synergy, determination, hard work and dedication between the council management and the security operatives to stem Banditry activities in the area,” Balle said

He, however, confirmed that relative normalcy is returning to the area after deployment of more security personnel.
