Fresh tragedy has befallen Kebbi State, North-West Nigeria, as three officers of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) were murdered on Thursday night by gunmen suspected to be members of the Lakurawa terrorist group.
The armed men had attacked a checkpoint manned by the officers in Bakin Ruwa community, Bagudu Local Government Area (LGA) of the State.
Not done with the murders, the assailants also burnt down a patrol vehicle and destroyed the shelter area at the checkpoint.
The incident came to light in a post shared today by security analyst Bakatsine on X.
