“From the lawmaker’s briefing, a total of 32 youths are believed to have been killed by the insurgents.

“The youths were not farmers but highly enterprising young men engaged in gathering metals popularly called ‘Kayan Ajaokuta’ which are sold as raw materials for steel production.

“The victims were said to have gone to a deserted Mudu village in Dikwa Local government area, which is 45 kilometers away from Rann in Kala-Bakge, in search of the raw materials; but in the process, they were unfortunately ambushed by the insurgents.

“Six persons were injured during the ambush while two escaped unhurt.

“A team of soldiers, alongside the Chairman of Kala-Balge Local Government , on Tuesday, recovered 14 bodies of victims who were apparently tied and shot at close range.

“Governor Zulum shares deeply the pains of bereaved families and the good people of Kala-Balge and is awaiting full report by the end of today before necessary measures,” Gusau said in the statement.(vitalnews)
