Jimeta residents gripped by Panic as gunmen attack Adamawa police headquarters

In a shocking incident that unfolded in the early hours of Wednesday, gunmen launched an attack on the Adamawa State Police Headquarters, situated in Jimeta, Yola North Local Government Area. The attack sent waves of panic through the residents of Yola.

Confirming the incident, SP Suleiman Nguroje, the State Police Public Relations Officer, assured the public that the situation was under control. He stated, “The attack was successfully repelled, but the identities of the assailants remain unknown at this time.”

According to a report by the Daily Trust, an unverified source suggested that the attackers could be military personnel seeking revenge for the alleged killing of one of their own by the police. SP Nguroje did not confirm this claim, emphasizing that investigations were ongoing to uncover the motive and identity of the attackers.

While the newspaper acknowledged its inability to independently verify the involvement of military personnel in the assault, the police are diligently working to ascertain the cause of the attack. The incident has raised concerns about the potential inter-agency conflict between the military and police forces, prompting heightened security measures in the region.

The Adamawa State Police reassures the public that efforts are being made to ensure the safety and security of the community. As investigations continue, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
