The Kaduna State Police Command on Sunday said it had gunned down three armed bandits who were among the group that attacked Kakanji village in Birnin Gawri Local Government Area on Saturday night.
The Command, however, said two police officers died in the attack.
“Our gallant men gunned down three of the bandits, and several others escaped into the bush with bullet wounds.
“However, two of our men paid the supreme sacrifice during the intense gun duel with the bandits.”
