Terrorists Kill Two Soldiers, Chinese Worker in Kebbi Attack

On Thursday, suspected Lakurawa terrorists attacked construction workers in Maiyama Local Government Area of Kebbi State, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers and a Chinese national. The Kebbi State Police Command spokesperson, SP Bashir Usman, confirmed that the soldiers were providing security for the Chinese national and other workers engaged in the Badagry Super Highway project when the attack occurred.

The terrorists reportedly infiltrated Kebbi State from a neighboring village in Sokoto State. Usman described the incident as "barbaric and unwarranted," emphasizing that the identities of the deceased soldiers could not be disclosed as they were military personnel.

Following the attack, joint security agencies initiated a manhunt for the suspected terrorists, who have been linked to previous attacks in the region. This incident raises ongoing security concerns in areas bordering Kebbi and Sokoto states.
