PRNigeria gathered that in a retaliation, youths in the community intercepted wives of the bandits including a pregnant womam who were on transit.
It further gathered that a negotiation is ongoing between the community leaders and bandits’ kingpins towards resolving the stalemate.
PRNigeria could not confirm if police are involved in the negotiations.
