Mallam Dogogide, it was gathered, had also accused his boys of going against their operational rules, by killing Villagers indiscriminately and raping married women, and therefore decided to summon them for a meeting.
Mallam Dogogide was said to have, during the meeting, seized cachet of ammunition from his boys, threatening to sack them and recruit new hands for “their disloyalty” and flaunting the group rules of engagement during operation.
According to a source close to the community, Dogogide’s action did not go down well with his boys which led to a heated argument and in the process one of his boys attempted to kill him when he opened fire but the bullet could not enter his boss.
It was at this point that Dogogide and a few loyal ones opened fire and gun down 12 of the “disgruntled ones” while others escaped for their lives. The Villagers were however released after the burial with a stern warning not to disclose the incident to the public.
