Investigation begins after suspected soldiers on revenge mission attacked Adamawa police headquarters
Residents of Jimeta in the Yola North Local Government Area of Adamawa State were thrown into panic on Wednesday as gunmen reportedly attacked the state police headquarters.
Confirming the attack, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, told Daily Trust, that “The attack was repelled, but the identities of those behind it was unknown.”
According to the medium, a source alleged that the attackers were soldiers on a reprisal following the alleged killing of a soldier by the police.
The police also disclosed that investigations were ongoing to ascertain the cause of the attack and those behind it.
