Gunmen suspected to be Lakurawa terrorists have attacked and killed two Customs officers and one local at Bachaka, a border community in Argungu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The Public Relations Officer of the Kebbi State Police Command, SP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed the attack on Wednesday.
He said the attack occurred on Tuesday but stated that the specific unit or formation of the slain Customs officers was yet to be determined.
“Yes, there was an attack, which resulted in the killing of two yet-to-be-identified Customs officers and one native of Bachaka village,” he said.
Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, Sani Bello, who visited the scene, reaffirmed the commitment of security forces to tackling criminal elements, stating that the attackers’ actions were a sign of their weakening state due to sustained security operations.
The attack occurred barely 24 hours after combined security forces neutralized two Lakurawa terrorists in Kebbi.
