This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau by the Police Public Relations Office of the command, DSP Yazid Abubakar.
The spokesperson said that the police also neutralised a large number of bandits, including the notorious kingpin ”Dan Mudale”, who had been terrorising Tsafe and its environs.
“At approximately 1540hrs, a good Samaritan reported that a large number of armed bandits had stormed Keta town to perpetrate inhumane acts.
“In response, a joint operation comprising of the Police Mobile Force, (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit, hunters, and Community Protection Guards mobilised and engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle.
“Regrettably, one PMF personnel, four Community Protection Guard (CPG) members, and two hunters made the ultimate sacrifice during the attack,” the police said.
