Reports from Okene, Kogi State indicate that two soldiers were killed after their convoy suffered an Improvised Explosive Device, IED attack.
The incident reportedly occurred around Itakpe along the Okene-Lokoja highway in the early hours of Saturday. They were in a convoy headed for Kaduna State. Meanwhile reports say Okene-Lokoja route road has been blocked by the Army due to an attack on the soldier team on surveillance. FRSC advise motorists to use okene/kaba/obajana road. It could be recalled that two soldiers were also killed in Okene in August last year when their patrol van was attacked by some gunmen. The incident led to near total shutdown of the town and reported reprisal attack by soldiers.
