Bandits, said to be numbering about 60, heavily armed in the early hours of Wednesday invaded a Military Camp in Zazzaga community in Munya local government area of Niger state and engaged the Soldiers in a gun battle, leading to a heavy casualties on the side of the bandits.
This latest attack on Military base in the state is coming barely three weeks after the bandits, in their numbers attacked a Security Joint TaskForce base in Allawa and Basa in Shiroro local government area of the state, killing five soldiers and a Mobile Policeman.
Although, unlike the Allawa and Basa Invasion, no Soldier was killed in this latest attack except a Soldier identified as the RSM of the camp was declared missing and his whereabouts is still unknown as at the time of filing this report.
According to a reliable source close to Zagzaga community, the Bandits who stormed the community at about 4:00am and shared themselves into three groups.

The third group were said to have made their way to the community to prevent any reinforcements from the community Vigilantes and the youths.
Our source said that after two hours of gun exchange from 4:00am to 6:00am, the Soldiers ran out of ammunitions and made a retreat but not until they (Soldiers) inflated heavy casualties on the bandits.
After the Soldiers made a retreat, the bandits stormed the Camp, set the Military Vehicles on fire and went away with another. The bandits also burnt the food store in the camp.
“I think the bandits might have used the Military Vehicle to evacuate the injured ones and possibly some dead ones among them because the Soldiers really fought them to stand still until their ammunitions finished.
“The bandits came around 4:00am and since that time, we were hearing gun shut until about 6:00am this morning”, our source added.
