Thursday, March 6, 2025 - Troops of Operation Hadin Kai successfully
repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists on Malari police station
in Borno State.
The insurgents launched the attack at about 1:00 am on Wednesday, March
5, 2025.
Upon receiving a distress call, the troops swiftly mobilized, engaged
the terrorists, and repelled the attack.
The spokesperson for the State Police Command, ASP Nahum Daso, said the
assailants attempted to infiltrate the police station but were forced to
retreat after a fierce gun battle.
"Yes, there was an attack on Malari Police Station, but no casualty
was recorded. The officers on duty, in collaboration with the military,
repelled the insurgents and prevented them from entering the town,” Daso
said.
He noted that the terrorists targeted a police Armoured Personnel
Carrier during the attack, damaging its tyres but failing to destroy the
vehicle.
“So far, no bodies have been recovered, but we are certain there were
casualties on the side of the insurgents,” he added
Daso assured residents of the police force’s readiness to prevent future attacks, stating that Malari had previously been without civil authority but had seen improved security since the deployment of a police crack team.
