Suspected gunmen were reported to have invaded the residence of Major General John Malu, the younger brother of a former Chief of Army Staff (CoAS), General Victor Malu but were repelled by soldiers.

Many victims were also said to have lost their lives in the attack by the gunmen believed to be Boko Haram.

Lawrence Zongo, the spokesperson for Miango Youth Development Association, said one of the victims is in a critical condition.

“Since last week, Fulani militia have continued to kill innocent Nigerians in Bassa LGA (Irigwe People) without any response from the military to bring out the attackers to face justice”
