The Kebbi State Police Command has confirmed the death of two police officers during a gun battle with Lakurawa bandits who invaded Alhaji Lawal Block Farm and nearby Fulani settlements in Natsini village, along the Argungu-Kangiwa road.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Nafiu Abubakar.
The assailants rustled an unspecified number of cows during the attack.

The bandits were eventually forced to flee into the forest with gunshot wounds, and the police successfully recovered some of the stolen cattle.
The Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, Bello Sani, condemned the tragic incident and prayed for the repose of the souls of the fallen officers.
Following the incident, the CP conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the scene and later visited the Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Sama’ila Mera, to offer condolences and brief him on ongoing efforts by security agencies to combat crime in the area.
