The Kogi State Government is mourning three residents killed in a terrorist attack on Iluke Community in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area. Attackers disguised in military uniforms invaded the community and disrupted an ongoing WAEC examination.
They attempted to march students into the bush for mass abduction. Security forces responded swiftly and engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle.
All the students were rescued unharmed and returned safely to their families.
One attacker was neutralized while others fled with gunshot wounds. The government commended the bravery of the military, vigilantes, and local hunters for preventing a larger tragedy.
Authorities are strengthening security in the area and have vowed to track down all those involved.
