No fewer than three persons were reportedly k!lled on Tuesday by hoodlums popularly known as Kalare boys in the Bolari area of Gombe State
Disclosing this on Wednesday during a press briefing at the headquarters of the Gombe State sector of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Commandant, Muhammad Bello, said the killings had nothing to do with the forthcoming protest, saying that about 600 officers had been deployed.
He said, “I want to correct an impression about an incident that happened yesterday (Tuesday). It’s not related to the mass protest but the usual thing with the Kalare people in the state. The Kalari boys k!lled three at Bolari but it had nothing to do with the protest. Within their ranks, they had a misunderstanding which led to clashes. I just want to emphasise it’s not related to the protest. We are ever ready, combatant ready but not going to shoot anyone.”
Speaking about the readiness of his officers and men, Bello added, “In the history of this country, there had never been any peaceful demonstration. We are ready not for war but for any situation. We will go out to safeguard the assets of federal, state and local government areas. We have deployed 600 officers across the state.”
