A statement issued by the police spokesman, DSP Sadiq Aliyu, said the attack occurred at approximately 8:20pm when armed bandits, wielding AK-47 rifles stormed the hospital, opening fire and causing panic among staff and patients.

The assailants targeted the hospital, shooting sporadically before security forces from the Kankara Divisional Police Headquarters arrived.

The ensuing gunfight between the assailants and police disrupted the attack and forcing the bandits to flee.

However, two individuals including 30-year-old Dr. Murtala Saleh who was shot in the right thigh, and Kamala Suleiman, 20, sustained a gunshot wound to his knee during the incident.
