The attacks continued unhindered from Shiroro to Munya and then to Piakoro. Thanks to Suleiman Chukuba, the council chairman of Shiroro LGA, according to residents. “The chairman immediately called the JTF for a counter-attack mission,” a resident told this paper.
“About 10 bandits were caught alive while numbers of motorcycles were confiscated,” another source said.
Other people were unlucky as no reinforcement was carried out in some affected locations. A source told WikkiTimes that the bandits operated for hours in Dandaudu, but no one came to the residents’ rescue.
