Eight personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have been reportedly killed by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers, during a brutal attack on the BUA Cement Company in Okpella, Edo State, on Friday.

The incident was said to have occurred at about 10:00 p.m. when the armed men ambushed the officers at the entrance gate of the company.

The NSCDC personnel were said to be escorting five Chinese expatriates back to their base following a routine patrol.

A source disclosed that the officers were members of a security team attached to the cement factory.

During the ambush, the assailants—armed with sophisticated weapons—opened fire on the convoy, killing eight NSCDC operatives and one civilian.

Thanks to the swift response of the Corps, four of the expatriates were rescued unhurt, the source said, adding that one expatriate was reportedly abducted.

The source added that four other NSCDC officers sustained injuries and were currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

According to the source, the State Commandant of the NSCDC, Gbenga Agun, has since visited the scene of the incident as well as the injured officers in hospital.

When contacted, the NSCDC Public Relations Officer in Edo State, Efosa Ogbebor, declined to comment, stating that a formal statement would be issued by the Corps’ national headquarters. (NAN)
