“We strongly believe that such atrocities are often aided by information the bandits receive from some residents of the villages.

“It is, therefore, imperative that the public also intensify efforts to cooperate with security agencies,” the source said.

Meanwhile, both the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Col Ahmed Usman (retd) and the spokesman of the state command of the Nigeria Police, DSP Ahmed Rufai, could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.
