When contacted, Funmi Odunlami, a state police image maker, verified the incident to Vanguard but added that three people were hurt after a gunfight in the town.

According to Odunlami, it is unclear whether the attackers are terrorists or merely bandits.

According to her ” Tonight, there was a shooting incident at Craneburg Construction Company Owo, Policemen are currently at the scene, victims have been taken to Hospital and they are in stable condition.

” We can not ascertain the casualty figure now and we also cannot say it was a terrorists’ attack with the use of explosives devices but tomorrow( Thursday ) morning, the EOD men of the command would go to the scene.”

Odunlami appealed to residents not to panic that the situation was under control
