Bandits rolled up at crack-of-dawn Monday gunning for revenge on Kogi’s Obajana Police Base near Dangote Cement—big mistake! Cops unleashed hell, gunning down several assailants in a hours-long firefight, but tragically lost one brave officer holding the line.
Locals whispered it was payback for police airstrikes and camp raids over the Jan. 10 weekend that bloodied bandit gangs hard—operatives weren’t sleeping, launching a fierce counter-drill that sent survivors scampering with bullets in ’em, as State PRO CSP William Ovye Aya confirmed.
Sources say the base, guarding key industrial turf, drew the hit from rattled gangs licking wounds—despite the loss, arrests piled up, manhunts rage on; AIG Alonyenu F. Idu and CP Naziru Bello Kankarofi hit the scene to rally troops, praising their pro moves amid morale boost.
This clash spotlights escalating bandit-police wars in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, where economic hubs like Dangote fuel turf battles—Kogi command’s intel-driven ops signal FG’s no-retreat stance, but fallen heroes remind the human cost; locals urged to spill tips for total victory over crime networks threatening progress.
