Police operatives visited the scene, took photographs of the corpses, and deposited them at the hospital mortuary for autopsy.

The case has since been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation.

Meanwhile, two people have also been killed and another injured after gunmen attacked a Fulani settlement near Osara Dam in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State.
