According to reports, gunmen have sent a letter to Gulu, Lapai Local Government Area, in Niger State, announcing plans for another attack on October 30, 2022.
This occurs just 48 hours after they raided the nearby Gulu General Hospital, which led to the deaths of two people and the kidnapping of a number of others, including hospital staff.
The note purportedly written by the bandits was dropped at Vulegbo, close to the location that was attacked on Monday night, according to a reliable source from the region.
The source urged urgent provision of adequate security from the emirate, the council chairman, representatives at the state and national levels, and security services.
PulseNets has learned that as a result of this development, the locals have fled their homes out of fear for their lives.
The state police command’s response could not be obtained since the PRO, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, was not reachable at the time this report was filed.
