Bandits Dressed in Hijab Attack Police Checkpoint, Kill Two Inspectors In Katsina

Two police inspectors have been killed by gunmen suspected to be terrorists who dressed in Hijab at a checkpoint in Gurbin Magarya village along Jibia-Batsari road in Katsina state.

A credible security source, who confirmed the incident in a telephone interview on Friday, said the officers were killed by the suspected terrorists on Thursday evening.

He explained that the hoodlums after killing the police Joint Border Patrol inspectors, carted away their rifles, leaving behind their operational vehicle and teargas at the checkpoint.

He said: “Some gunmen suspected to be bandits on bike killed two police inspectors and ran away with their guns at a checkpoint at Gurbin Magarya village along Jibia-Batsari road.

“They attacked the police Joint Border Patrol checkpoint at about 4pm yesterday (Thursday) dressed in Abaya (Hijab). The corps of the officers have been evacuated to Katsina general hospital’s matury.”

But when contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, feigned ignorance of the incident.

He, however, promised to investigate and get back to our correspondent but he did not as of press time.
