The Nigeria Police Force announced on Sunday that its operatives repelled a terrorist attack on the Jakana Divisional Police Headquarters in Borno State on November 28.
According to Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the jihadists struck in the dead of the night around 1:00 a.m. local time but were met with strong resistance from “gallant” officers.
“Fortunately, the group was met with strong resistance from gallant operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, who successfully repelled the attack,” Adejobi said in a statement. Many attackers retreated with serious injuries from gunshots and a police officer sustained injuries and is responding to treatment.
