Saidu said the bandits attempted to abduct some herders but that they resisted and in the process two of the herders and one of the gunmen were killed.
A member of the vigilante group in Koton Karfe, headquarters of Kogi LGA, who preferred anonymity, confirmed the incident, saying the vigilantes earlier engaged the gunmen around Ahoko Bridge on the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
