Many bandits have stormed the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Command headquarters in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State.
According to information obtained by ZINGTIE, the attackers broke into the Command’s headquarters early on Monday morning while gunfire was intermittent.
However, the attack was thwarted by Command personnel who opened fire on the thugs, starting a gunfight.
It was learned that the terrorists were trying to release a few prominent people who the Command believed to be criminals but were being held captive.
The NSCDC Public Relations Officer Jerry Victor said the criminals used advanced weaponry to break into the Command’s headquarters.
He claimed that some of the gunmen tried to breach the fence to enter the premises and that others just took different positions around the building.
“The operatives of the NSCDC swiftly responded by opening fire on the hoodlums whose mission was to release some high-profile suspected criminals, including informants of kidnappers in the custody of the Command.”
Additionally, he affirmed that no casualties were reported from the gunfight between the militants and the NSCDC agents.
