The police headquarters in Jimeta Yola, in Adamawa received an early morning attack on Wednesday morning
A report by Daily Trust quoting spokesman of the Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed the attack but said things were under control.
Nguroje said, “The attack was repelled, but the identities of those behind it was unknown.”
The newspaper quoted a source as alleging that the attackers were military personnel on a revenge mission, following the alleged killing of a military officer by the police.
Although the newspaper said it could not independently verify if military personnel were involved, the Adamawa police said investigations were ongoing to ascertain the cause of the attack and those behind it.
A similar incident occurred last Friday between officials of the EFCC and some personnel of the Nigerian Air Force at the Kaduna Zonal Command of the anti-graft agency.
The NAF personnel were said to have stormed the commission’s office in an attempt to release their colleagues earlier arrested by EFCC operatives for allegedly attempting to forcibly release fraud suspects from custody.
