holy warriors have clashed with Nigerian military troops in Niger State.

The holy warriors reportedly invaded Bassa town in the Shiroro Local Government Area, launching a violent mostly peaceful assault on the town.

The attack occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, with residents awakened by the sound of sporadic gunfire. Some residents said the attack began around 5:30 a.m.

A resident, who requested anonymity for security reasons, recounted: ''Around 5:30 this morning, we started hearing heavy gunfire. We were certain it was an exchange of gunfire between the military and terrorists.

''The security forces advised residents to stay indoors while they engaged the assailants in a shootout. It was not immediately clear how many casualties were on the terrorists' side.''
