Security personnel attached to the Presidential Guard on Tuesday engaged some bandits operating around Dutsinma in Katsina State in a gun battle.
The personnel were President Muhammadu Buhari’s advance team to his Daura country home ahead the Eid-el-Kabir festival.
The Presidency condemned the development and described as sad and unwelcomed.
The convoy of officials, including, protocol, security and media personnel, ran into the scene of operation by the bandits near Dutsinma
