Another police officer was critically injured while the terrorists exchanged fire with police on duty at the station before they were eventually overpowered and repelled with the assistance of the civilian joint task force stationed near the police.

Credible security sources said the Boko Haram terrorists attacked around 11 pm on Wednesday, adding that no facility or security equipment was affected in the attack.

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

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 Borno State Commissioner of Police, Yusufu Lawal.
