Lakurawa gunmen have murdered three staff of a telecommunication company and one other person.
The bandits reportedly attacked a construction site at Gumki village in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State when their victims were installing a surveillance mast for the Nigeria Immigration Service and killed them and one other person who is yet to be identified.
There was a conflicting report of which organization the victims belonged as the police said three of the deceased were Airtel staff and the residents identified them to be Immigration staff.
A staff of Sir Yahaya Specialist Hospital however corroborated the villagers, saying the three victims brought to the hospital were Immigration staff.
But the police spokesperson, SP Nafiu Abubakar, said four persons lost their lives, one indigene and three staff of Airtel.
He said from the report the police got, the state Commissioner of Police, Bello M Sani alongside with the Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Kebbi State Command, CIS Muhammad Bashir Lawali mobilized their men to the scene to evacuate the corpses to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital in Birnin Kebbi.
He said his CP has deployed additional tactical teams to the area and charged them to decisively deal with the suspected bandits operating in the area.
