Three people were killed and two others injured following an ambush on a construction site near the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway in Kebbi State. The victims comprised two security personnel and an expatriate working on the road project, while two civilians sustained gunshot wounds. Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Bashir Usman, reported that the attackers, believed to be Lakurawa terrorists from Sokoto State, stormed the site in Gubba Village, Andarai District, and opened fire on workers.
Two civilians were also injured and taken to a hospital for treatment. Another attack by suspected terrorists occurred along the Birnin Malam axis but was thwarted by police forces. Joint security teams have since been deployed to bolster protection and prevent future attacks. Construction work at the affected site has been halted, with increased surveillance and additional personnel assigned to the area.
Authorities have promised continued security for the workers and encouraged them to remain calm as they ensure the safety of lives and property.
