Gunmen Attack NIPSS Again, One Killed by iwaeda(op): 9:22am On Jul 02

Security operatives at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Plateau State, on Wednesday night repelled another attempt by suspected armed assailants to breach the Institute’s security perimeter, killing one of the attackers during a gun battle.

Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen attempted to gain access to the institution at around 11pm but were repelled by security operatives.

The Institute, in a statement issued on Thursday by its Head of Public Affairs, Dr. Osime Samuel, said the attackers engaged security personnel in a fierce exchange of gunfire but were forced to retreat following what it described as a swift and coordinated response by security forces.

According to the statement, one of the assailants was neutralised during the encounter, while several others reportedly escaped with varying degrees of injuries.

NIPSS, however, said the attackers failed to penetrate the Institute’s security perimeter, stressing that all participants of the Senior Executive Course, staff, residents and facilities remained safe.

The Institute added that security agencies had intensified efforts to track down and arrest the fleeing suspects, while surveillance and other proactive security measures had been reinforced within and around the institution.

Reassuring participants, staff, their families and members of the public, NIPSS said the security of lives and property remained its highest priority.

The Institute also commended the prompt response and professionalism of the security agencies and urged the public to disregard misinformation capable of causing unnecessary panic.

The latest incident came barely weeks after gunmen attacked the Institute in an attempt to gain access to the premises.

They are bold to attack anywhere because they know nothing will happen to them. There are videos of senior army commanders ordering their subordinates not to shoot at them and if they are even captured, they know that they will be released and given monetary rewards once they swear by their koran that they have repented.

No regular person goes to buy a gun and come back to attack government institutions.
Obviously, some people up there are financing them

Good job by the security personnel.
No need to arrest and charge any of the criminals because their sponsors will have them released.
Neutralise them at the spot!!

That's why we need state police and summary execution.

The sooner these useless terrorists, assailants, or bandits are killed, the better

It could be that they want to shake the nation by kidnapping high profile Senior Executive Course members or NIPSS staff.

Re: Gunmen Attack NIPSS Again, One Killed by Reference(m): 6:36pm On Jul 02

An Institute that cannot formulate policies to combat insecurity or strategies to aid security forces in gaining an upper hand over insurgents is practically a useless talk shop and it is not surprising the bad guys have found the audacity to school them in the art of war.

Study what exactly.
How to undermine institutions and entrench feudalism....?

What has that place done in the past fifty years or so to solve any single problem of national concern.

Has not done anything to make Nigeria a more just or equitable society. Has not done anything to strengthen her institutions and surround them by the rule of law. Has not done anything to school the authorities on how to develop the country and prosper her citizens. Has not done anything to unite the citizens of the country across ethnic and religious fault lines.....

Exactly what have they succeeded in doing to make this country great. Whatever it is, it is not working. The bandits have arrived to remind them of their failings and mark their score card.

Our security forces are weak in their capacity to responding to terrorists. Many terrorists attacked but only one was killed out of plenty. That's very poor
