The command’s spokesman, SP Ahmed Wakil, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Bauchi, said the incident occurred on July 16.
Mr Wakil said the incident was reported at Bogoro Police Division. He added that police operatives led by the DPO visited the scene and retrieved five empty shells of bullets fired by the bandits.
