Confirming the incident, resident Idris Khalid revealed to a Punch correspondent that armed men raided several villages in the Birnin Gwari Local Government Area on Thursday morning. The attack occurred as the vigilantes were trailing the kidnapped victims who were abducted on their way to a burial between Kakangi and Sabon Layi.

Khalid explained, “The vigilantes engaged the terrorists, killing scores of them but could not rescue the two traditional rulers and others. Normally, anytime there is a kidnap incident, the vigilantes always trail the terrorists to rescue the victims. It’s unfortunate that in the process, eight gallant officers of the vigilantes who have been sacrificing in ensuring the safety of our people were lost.”

In response to inquiries, the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, ASP Mansir Hassan, disclosed that the police are investigating the matter to uncover the truth. He cited network issues in the area during the incident, which may have hindered immediate communication and response.
