Six of our people were tragically slaughtered by the bandits when we fled for our life when we noticed the terrorists were closing quickly. At our general hospital, four persons who suffered severe gunshot wounds are currently receiving treatment,” he stated.

According to Obasanjo news24, Dansadau District in Maru LGA is presently inaccessible and has a long history of being a bandit colony.
