The division officer and his soldiers fiercely resisted and thwarted the terrorists’ intention to invade them, according to the sources.
However, they shot the inspector, Petrus Umaru in his stomach and right leg, and one of the patrol cars was transported to a far place while the fire was caught in another car belonging to a policeman.
Nasiru Mohamed Mohamed, an ISIS collaborator in West Africa who helps terrorists in the region northwest of the state of Kadona with communication, was previously detained by Nigerian security intelligence.
According to the sources, the terrorists typically take up members of Boko Haram or ISIS who are fleeing the northeast because of security operations by the Hydad Kai operation forces and maintain them in covert locations until they are stable enough to be transferred.
In the end, to other camps in the middle and northwest.
