A police team led by the Divisional Police Officer responded to the scene and found Bello Bura dead, while two other guards, Sani Hussaini, 32, and Gidado Mohammed, 32, both from Jadauvi Village, Gamawa LGA, were injured.
The injured guards were taken to the General Hospital, where Bello Bura was pronounced dead.
The deceased’s body has been handed over to his family for burial according to Islamic rites.
