Immediately they got there (burial place), they went straight to where the traditional head named Zaki Ityav Gande was seated. They searched him, took away some money and shot him. They opened fire on the people and killed 11 persons at the burial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of Kastina-Ala LGA, Alfred Atera, however, said nine people were killed, adding that the killing by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/02\/27\/father-son-shot-dead-as-bandits-abduct-many-in-fresh-niger-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bandits<\/a> was a reprisal for the operation carried out by troops of Operation Whirl Stroke last Thursday and Friday, when three people were killed.<\/p>\n<p>Atera said three other people were critically injured with gunshots and were taken to an undisclosed clinic for medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>The Commander, Operation Whirl Stroke, Major General Kevin Aligbe, also confirmed the killings, but did not state any figure.<\/p>\n<p>Aligbe also denied that the attack was a reprisal for the killing of bandits by the military.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIt is true that we are on operation around that area. The reason is that these guys (bandits) have been killing and extorting people so whatever happened yesterday (Saturday) is not a result of what we are doing because some of them (bandits) have submitted weapons within the last two weeks or something like that. But in the next two weeks, we are going to get all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No fewer than nine people, including a traditional ruler, were killed on Saturday as bandits invaded a burial ceremony at Imande Mbakenge, Mbache, in the Katsina Ala Local Government Area of Benue State.
