 The recent attacks on innocent villagers in parts of Bassa LGA of Plateau State, Nigeria, may have been carried out by suspected remnant of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents, security sources have hinted, it was  gathered that the suspects escaped from the Sambisa forest in Borno state, due to the onslaught on them by the Nigeria armed forces determined to rid the forest of the insurgents who have been using it as their base.

 Corroborating this belief, the Security and Civil Defense Corps ,NSCDC, in the state disclosed that indeed, the suspects appeared in red, black army uniforms and mobile dress.

 The Commandant of the NSCDC in the state, Olasupo Solomon who confirmed the command lost one officer in the hands of the attackers, added that the suspects took away his service weapon and cap ostensibly to disguise as personnel of the corps.

 However, he assured thst the command would not relent in its onerous responsibility to protecting civilians and their properties.

 According to him ,about 100 additional NSCDC have been redeployed to Dutse Kura to mount security surveillance in the area even as he advised citizens to be vigilant because it appears they are all over the places and can easily deceive people because they usually dress in stolen security atires.
