Several others were reportedly wounded in the invasion which occured on Wednesday.
The armed men mostly vigilantes, were said to be fully armed with assorted rifles, machetes and other dangerous weapons and allegedly led by officials of the State government.
A source, who identified some of the men as thugs, alleged that most of them were drawn from the State vigilante and hunters who have been working for the Kogi State Government.
Recall that the State government has been having a running battle with the Dangote Cement Company over the acquisition of Obajana Cement and the State’s equity shares in the Dangote Cement Limited.
Meanwhile, members of the mining and host communities have condemned the Kogi State Government for what they described as extra-judicial and unlawful deployment of the vigilante to cause chaos in the Obajana community.
