After an encounter with Boko Haram terrorists in Borno state on January 6, the Borno Command of the Nigerian Police Force is mourning the loss of three of its officers.
The attack, which occurred when Boko Haram insurgents stormed Kundori village in Konduga LG along Maiduguri/Damaturu highway with five gun trucks, resulted in the death of three personnel from the command.
Ibrahim Mohammed, the SARS commander in Borno State, announced the deaths and praised the late policemen as courageous fighters who had previously brought pride to the Nigerian police during encounters.
He stated;
“Yesterday 6th Jan 2020 at about 10:30 AM, SARS team on forwarding operation base at Kundori village, Konduga LG along Maiduguri/Damaturu highway came under heavy attack by Boko haram insurgents armed with five gun trucks.
“After a fierce battle, we lost the above great fighters who have made the squad and the Nigeria police command proud in previous encounters. We pray that Almighty God in His infinite mercy grants them eternal peace in paradise.”
This incident follows a similar attack on the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Olusegun Adeniyi, along the same route as reported by LIB.
