The Police in Kano, on Sunday,
confirmed the killing of two gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members in
Kibiya Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s Public Relations
Officer, ASP Magaji Majiya, confirmed the incident in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano.
He said the incident happened on
Saturday, around 5.30 p.m. when gunmen, numbering about six, stormed the police
station on two motorcycles but the police repelled the attack.
He said one of the gunmen was
killed during an exchange of fire while the other was lynched by the community
while trying to escape.
According to him, two of the
arrested gunmen were now assisting the police in their investigation.
“No policeman was killed or
injured during the incident,” he said.
Majiya said the gunmen had also
abandoned one of their motorcycles before fleeing the area.
He said security had since been
beefed up in the area, adding that neighbouring states had been alerted on the
matter, in order to arrest the fleeing hoodlums
