The bandits have threatened to enter the town once more after last Monday's raid on the Gulu village in Niger State's Lapai Local Government Area.
Last Wednesday, the bandits allegedly dropped a leaflet with the threat near the village of Vulegbo, which is close to Gulu.
The bandits announced in the pamphlet that they would attack the neighbourhood this October 30.
An influential member of the community claims that the pamphlet was vague.
However, it was discovered that after the leaflet was dropped and the community's members became aware of its contents, there has been a mass evacuation to safer locations, including Lapai, the local government area's administrative centre.
Efforts to reach the Chairman of the LGA, Alhaji Muazu Jantabo, and the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Wasiu Abiodun, were not successful as they did not respond to calls made to their cell phones.
At least two people were confirmed killed with one slaughtered when gunmen in the early hours of last Tuesday stormed Gulu town in the LGA.
The man slaughtered was described as a neighbour to the Gulu General Hospital whose name was given as Ya-tachi.
In the early morning raid, the heavily armed terrorists were also said to have raided the General Hospital in the town and its staff quarters where the resident doctors and pharmacist were kidnapped along with members of their families. Their whereabouts is still unknown.
