Photo credit: HQ Nigerian ArmySource: FacebookI received a call that there was an attack in Ikobi community in Apa LGA, and when I called some people, there was no response from them.Later, I heard that two soldiers were killed. So this morning, they discovered the bodies of the two civilians.Because of the culture of our people, you dont normally keep accidental dead bodies in the mortuary. We are in the period of hit-and-run herders. When it happens, we may not allow the corpse to stay beyond 24 hours.So, they have been buried while the bodies of the late soldiers have been moved from that community, but I dont know whether they are in the mortuary in Ugbokpo or Makurdi.Army, Police yet to react
