Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has promised to support families of two military personnel, who lost their lives during a shootout with bandits in Kundu village, Rafi Local Government Area of the State.
The personnel had died when the bandits attacked military camp recently.
In the ensuing shootout, many bandits were reportedly killed, while others fled the scene.
Governor Bello, according to a statement by his media aide, Mary Noel-Berje made the promise when he visited the camp on Sunday.
Bello commended the security agents for bringing peace to the area, which was hitherto notorious for bandit attacks.
“No place is 100 percent safe but we will do whatever it takes to bring back relative peace. We are investing in security equipments and other logistics to help in the fight and to reduce casualty,” he said.
The governor had a closed door interaction with the heads of security agencies and other relevant stakeholders to get more insight on the foiled attack and as well suggested ways forward.
He equally inspected where the bandits used as hideouts and cover to launch the attack
