Following reports that bandits killed 20 security operatives, the Zamfara State Police Command on Saturday debunked the report, saying that only three security operatives in the state were killed.
The spokesperson for the command, SP Mohammed Shehu, explained that one policeman and two personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence were killed when some bandits attacked a community in the Shinkafi Local Government Area.
He said the command had deployed more policemen in the area and enjoined the public to shun the attempt to create panic.
