Also confirming the development, spokesman of 28 Task-Force Battalion, Mubi, Maj. Akintoye Badare, said the attack was successfully repelled with no casualty on the military side.
“All I can confirmed to you now is that there was attack on Dar village but we successfully repelled it; no casualty on our side, ” Badare said.
