Security operatives last night in Gombe, capital of Gombe State, repelled an attack by unknown gunmen in the Masalacin Idi area. No casualties were recorded.
Our sources said the duel lasted about 30 minutes, finally subsiding when the Joint Task Force comprising soldiers and policemen suppressed the insurgents.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Abdu, who confirmed the gun duel, said that the gunmen opened fire and lobbed grenades at the security operatives, who responded promptly. The attackers, unable to stand the heat, fled to an unknown location.
The security operatives, according to Mr. Audu, have commenced a thorough search for the gunmen.
