Also, another police officer was critically injured while the terrorists exchanged gunfire with policemen on duty at the police station before they were eventually overpowered and repelled with the assistance of the civilian joint taskforce (CJTF) who were stationed nearby.

Credible security sources said the Boko Haram terrorists attacked the police facility around 11pm on Wednesday night.

However, a police statement which confirmed the attack, said it occurred at about 12:10am on Thursday morning.

The statement signed by the Borno State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso, said grenades were recovered during an assessment tour of the scene of the attack in Nganzai by the State’s Commissioner of Police, Yusufu Lawal.
