Two Chinese Nationals have been kidnapped while five security personas have been killed following the attack from some gunmen who invaded a mining site on Zango City, the outskirts of Lokoja, Kogi State capital.

It was gathered that the gunmen in large numbers had a field day on Monday when they stormed a mining site in Zango City and killed five persons, made up of three vigilante members and two staff of the mining site before they abducted two Chinese citizens.

Locals said the unfortunate attack occurred in the evening at about 5 pm and lasted for about 45 minutes when sounds of sporadic gunshots emanated from the hilly range behind Al Azhar International School. They said the suspected gunmen were about 20, with many of them bearded.

It was gathered that while the audible gunshots from the mountain were unrelenting, people hurriedly closed their shops, and panic-stricken locals abandoned their homes to take cover in other places considered safe.

A hunter who preferred not to be named claimed to have participated in evacuating the corpses, identifying the deceased vigilantes simply as Abdulazeez, Tijani, and Yusuf, said gory photos of their remains were sighted.

Abdul, a resident and shop owner in Zango, said he heard the sounds of the gunshots, “Initially, we did not know what was happening, and the gunshots were loud. I had to leave the area along with other people out of fear. This is very bad and worrisome in the state capital. We urge the government to step up security in the state.”

Efforts to reach the police including telephone calls and messages to the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, William Anya, did not yield results.

Zango City near Lokoja?

They said the suspected gunmen were about 20, with many of them bearded.

In other words, they have the same fashion sense with Sheikh Gumi. Talibans also come to mind. Ideologies do influence people's dress sense. Only today, they said armed people blocked Kaduna-Lokoja highway and no police or army could dare them for hours. Yet, many Nigerians are not decoding anything. It's well.

When investors run away because of insecurity as it happened in some states , you all will realise your mistakes. Gunmen, unknown gun men, kidnappers, bandits, armed robbers robbers Army one day one day you will pay for your dubious act

Omoh I don wake since 2am I no fit sleep again overthinking wan finish me .

Our security system has only be in warfare not on intelligence.

All the wars that have been won is based on intelligence. I am yet to see our security system infiltrating these criminals from within. Not to just shoot them but go undercover with them and flush them out.

Allah Kubar!

We always expect it to be so because the Government is Sleeping on it.

Violence everywhere

Nigeria on autopilot mode

I still can't understand how I am of same nationale with these set of people

Tor

One day you bandits will mistakenly kill a USA citizen.

That's the day you will all know why USA doesn't negotiate with terrorists

If they're licenced to mine, this is bad, but if not, this is good.

I doubt if we are still up to 200 million in Nigeria. The way Fulani / Islamist terrorists in the North, IPOB in South East, cultism in South South and South West, ritualists / skull miners in South West, Kidnappers in North and South West kill Nigerians in dozens don’t be surprised that by the next census we will be 120 million

Our IGP and CDS are busy now. Very busy gathering intelligence on the people who want to participate in the incoming protest. So what happened at lokoja is not a serious threat for now

Maybe na those Lokoja peeps will even hijack the anticipated "protest" and unleash mayhem on people. While the IGP and co are fixated on the people they love to hate. I feel sorry for Nigerians.

Be like bandits have started their own protest abi what is really happening.

Shettima will handle security my foot, APC Government is the most useless and unrealistic Party system in the whole world.... Tueh to some people that still believed on them.

Kill their brothers carry oyibo

Nothing work in Nigeria

Hatred for nigerian, the bandits kill their fellow black men BC they have no value

Our leaders make u valueless b4 any other citizen in the world.

Imagine a politician buy a car over 20million for his Dota who just finished secondary school

You kill your own, leave foreigners. Sincerely, Nigeria is getting so unsafe now.

The ex governor of kogi state did well and bad in the area of security.He did well by arming the local vigilante and going after the know criminals in the locality.He did bad by allowing the fulanis who were chased out of pleatue and Benue state into kogi state because of his presidential ambition.I know from time that immediately Bello leaves office that insecurities will return,most especially now that he is not in good terms with the federal government.If we can defeat the terrorists in kogi state,we have defeated 80,% of the terrorist disturbing Nigerian.

Funny enough, Zango is very close to Army Barracks, infact the school mentioned almost shares fence with the Barrack so how come the soldiers did not respond? This is unfortunate
