He said that preliminary investigation revealed that the bandits wanted to set some of their members in their custody free.
Meanwhile, he emphasized that the state commandant of the corps, Ismaila Abdullahi, had directed the intelligence unit to get to the root of the attack by apprehending the attackers, collaborators, and sponsors.
Furthermore, He said that those behind the attack would not escape justice as the command would go after them, no matter their status in the country.
“They came in large numbers with iron rods and attempted to break some part of the command’s fence to gain entry into the facility.
“Our personnel swiftly responded by opening fire on the hoodlums, whose mission was to release some high-profile suspected criminals including informants of kidnappers in our custody,” he said.
