Kenneth indicated that it is too early to determine if the attackers were affiliated with Boko Haram, stating, “Right now, we can only classify them as gunmen because their anonymity is yet to be unravelled.”
In an earlier incident in February 2024, suspected Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters attacked the police station in Gajiram, Nganzai Local Government Area, killing four policemen and stealing ammunition.
According to a security source, the terrorists also set parts of the police station on fire during the attack.
