The bandits were reported to have invaded the sleepy village where they killed four people.
Speaking to newsmenon the phone on Thursday, Pa Amodu said, “This place is called Ikobi but it is the outskirts. The bandits came in silently and caught the people unawares and began to kill them.
“They killed four persons and injured one. Their modus operandi is that they come around every other day and when they come they will be patrolling with their cattle.”
Eche Akpoko, a local lawyer and the head of the Apa Development Association, a socio-cultural organization, reported that he had heard about the bandit attack.
He added, “As of this morning, I was told that four bodies were recovered.”
