The police command in Borno has claimed that ISWAP terrorists stole towels, chairs, and bedspreads in a clinic in an attack on Magumeri.
The attack took place on Wednesday.
“The terrorists did not loot drugs but took away bedspreads, towels and outpatients chairs in an unused small clinic. They also set fire on the surrounding grasses which did not touch the building,’’ said police commissioner Abdu Umar.
Mr Umar also disclosed that the terrorists suspected to be from a faction of the Islamic West Africa Province set a GSM tower ablaze and stole a generator.
“The story going round that the Police Divisional Office in Magumeri was attacked, looted and burnt while two policemen were abducted is not true,” he pointed out. “The police station was not attacked, and none of the policemen was abducted, and detainees were not released as erroneously claimed.”
Magumeri came under attack on Wednesday evening when the insurgents stormed the community arriving in many trucks.
