The Yobe Police Command on Saturday urged the people of the
state to be extra-vigilant and give information that will assist in
forestalling Boko Haram attacks.
This was contained in a statement by the Police Public
Relations Officer, Dungus Abdulkarim.
The command explained that its call was in response to the
renewed attacks by Boko Haram insurgents, the latest being in Dapchi last
Wednesday.
It further condemned the insurgents’ attack on the Police
Divisional Headquarters in Dapchi.
The Police said information were necessary and should not
only be provided, but in good time to enable security agencies act quickly.
The statement confirmed that Yahaya Abubakar, the
Commissioner of Police, visited Dapchi on Friday to sympathize over recent
killings.
Abubakar hailed the policemen for their gallantry in
defending Dapchi community and assured of additional logistic support.
“In the course of the gun fight, the insurgents suffered
casualties losing 11 members but unfortunately, the police also recorded some
casualties,” the spokesman added.
He assured the people of their safety and appealed to them
to support the battle against terrorism and insurgents.
Boko Haram and ISIS arm in West Africa, ISWAP, have stepped
up their attacks in recent months.
