It was gathered that some men in Customs and Army uniforms invaded Igangan in Ibarapa North local government area around 8.00 p.m. on Friday and shot sporadically. However, speaking on the incident, the Customs claimed that it was the residents that attacked its officers, who were on the trail of some buses carrying prohibited items. “It is on this note that I urge all the local security in the area to support security agencies in the state to put a lid on the spate of insecurity in the area. It is sad that the FG could attempt to stop the media from reporting details of terror attacks in this time and age. Of what interest is this order to stop or downplay reports of terror attacks to Nigeria and Nigerians?
