The gunmen invaded the popular Mimiko market and NASFAT Schools in the community, killing the two security guards and dismembering their bodies, leaving their remains in a pool of blood.

According to a source, the bandit attacked the two places in the middle of the night and said “the deceased were found in the pool of blood on Saturday morning.

“The gunmen killed one of the guards and cut off his head and placed the head beside his body.

“The other man’s hand was cut after he had been killed, and the dismembered hand was also placed beside him. The killers did not take anything from the deceased before they left the scene.”
