She said they don\u2019t even know what happened but that on Saturday night they started hearing gunshots everywhere in the community and they just started running into the bushes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Police Public Relations Officer, Bello Kontongs said, \u201cIt was a military operation so I don\u2019t have any information on that. But once I have, I will let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the Nigerian Army 4 Brigade, Benin on Monday said that the Brigade never carried out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/19\/20-fulani-traders-killed-in-zamfara-reprisal-attack-over-death-of-three-indigenes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reprisal attack<\/a> in the community, rather it said that the brigade only carried out operations in the community based on intelligence from the Department of State Service.<\/p>\n<p>The Brigade\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Yemi Sokoya said that against some reports making the rounds, soldiers were not in the community to carry out a reprisal attack, adding that the personnel of the brigade were guided by rules of engagement and code of conduct for internal security.<\/p>\n<p>Sokoya stated that the brigade got a report from the DSS about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/02\/28\/hoodlums-invade-benue-couples-burial-kill-community-leader-eight-mourners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hoodlums<\/a> disturbing the community, and stockpile of weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found out that it was true, because as soon as we got there, some of the hoodlums engaged the troop in gun duel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, even if there was a communal issue before now, with what is happening in the country today, if you are a commander and you are told people are stockpiling weapons somewhere, you will go there and ensure that those weapons are seized and those involved arrested. I think that is the right thing to do and that is exactly what the commander did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of communal crisis is not part of why we went there. It was basically on a report that hoodlums in that community are stockpiling weapons and terrorising the community,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that in the course of the operations, some weapons which include two AK-47 rifles, three English pump action guns, one double barrel, 32 cartridges, five mobile phones and an ID card belonging to the state vigilante were recovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven persons including a soldier have reportedly died as a result of clash between rival youth groups of Obayantor Community of
