Efforts to contact the state Commandant of the NSCDC, however, proved abortive as he was not on seat while his phone was unreachable
However, one of the senior officials of the corps who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that four of their personnel who were brutalized at the mega station are currently receiving treatment in a hospital in Dutse.
