Gunmen, suspected to be members of the
terrorist group, Boko Haram, attacked the
headquarters of Nafada Local Government Area
of Gombe state, North-East Nigeria on Tuesday,
killing soldiers, an Islamic cleric and left no
fewer than 10 persons dead.
But the state Police Commissioner, Kudu Nma,
however, said he had yet to hear of the incident.
He however pledged to give the details of the
incident when he had information on it.
A resident of the area told journalists on the
telephone that the gunmen stormed the town
around 11am in four Hilux vans and numerous
Bajaj motorcycles, wielding guns and shooting
sporadically into the air.
He said they immediately set the Police station
and the local government secretariat ablaze.
“The gunmen then went to the house of an
Islamic cleric named Adamu Misira and opened
fire on him and other people numbering over 10
that were there with him, killing all of them.
They had earlier killed the soldiers on duty at the
checkpoint between Gombe and Yobe states,
located in Nafada,” said the resident, who
pleaded for anonymity.
Suspected terrorists attacked the central motor
park in Gombe metropolis five days ago with
explosives, killing no fewer than 20 residents.
