GUNSHOTS AS BANDITS INVADE NSCDC HEADQUARTERS.
Unspecified numbers of bandits have attacked the
headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Command in
Lafia, Nasarawa State capital.
ATN gathered that the assailants invaded the Command’s
headquarters in the early hours of Monday amid sporadic gunshots. Operatives of
the Command, however, repelled the attack by opening fire on the hoodlums,
leading to a gun duel.
It was gathered that the terrorists were on a mission to
free some high-profile suspected criminals in the custody of the Command.
According to the NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Jerry
Victor, the bandits invaded the Command’s headquarters with sophisticated
weapons.
He said the gunmen attempted to break some part of the
fence to gain entry into the offices while some of them took different
positions around the building. He also confirmed that no casualty was recorded
during the gun battle between the gunmen and the NSCDC operatives.
