Two persons have been k!ll3d in a suspected t£rrorist @tt@ck on motorcycle commuters along the Okoloke–Egbe Road in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The incident was disclosed in a post online by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region.
According to Zagazola, the @tt@ck occurred at around 9:25am on June 23 as the victims were heading to the Egbe Market.
He said troops of the 12 Brigade, deployed at Okoloke and Okunran, swiftly responded upon receiving reports of the incident.
Two commuters were k!ll3d in the assault, while several others managed to flee the scene.
"The troops evacuated the bodies of the deceased and intensified patrols across the general area to prevent further @tt@cks and deny the perpetrators freedom of action.
Security agencies have continued efforts to track down those responsible for the @tt@ck," the security expert noted.
