Two police personnel were killed on Thursday as Boko Haram terrorists attacked a police station in Gajiram, Nganzai Local Government Area of Borno State.
One other police officer was critically injured as 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 taskforce who are stationed near the police station.
A police statement said the attack happened at about 12:10am on Thursday.
The Borno State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Daso, said the hand-grenades thrown by the terrorists landed on a shelter tent behind the division, and fatally wounded two officers.
He said the state commissioner of Police Yusufu Lawal, during a visit to Nganzai Police Division, commended officers for their bravery and condoled with families of two officers who lost their lives.
