In the early hours of Monday, a large number of suspected terrorists attacked the headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Command in Nasarawa State.
NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Jerry Victor, confirmed the attack, stating that the terrorists, armed with sophisticated weapons, engaged in a gun battle with the Command's operatives, who eventually repelled them.
Victor reported that the gunmen attempted to breach the fence to gain entry into the offices, while others took various positions around the building.
“The operatives of the NSCDC swiftly responded by opening fire on the hoodlums, whose mission was to release some high-profile suspected criminals, including informants of kidnappers in the custody of the Command,” Victor stated.
He added that no casualties were recorded during the attack.
