At Least 14 Killed In Gombe During A Night Attack At A Police Station by Winnerslfc(m): 11:04am On Feb 25, 2012 |
In a friday night attacks on a police station in Gombe state, suspected Islamists have killed at least 14 people. Witnesses said Saturday. “I have seen at least 14 burnt bodies in and around the police station,” a Gombe resident who lives near the station told AFP on condition of anonymity. The gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram Islamists Friday launched simultaneous gun and bomb attacks on a prison and a police station in the northern city of Gombe, a jail guard and a resident said. The attackers staged what residents said appeared to be coordinated attacks on a main prison where some Boko Haram members are believed to be held, and on a nearby police station. “We are under siege. A large number of gunmen have encircled the prison, shooting and detonating explosives. It is clear they are Boko Haram,” a prison warden told AFP from inside the central prison in Gombe city. A resident, Ibrahim Yau, said gunshots and explosions rang across the city for over an hour. The prison overlooks the police station and both are situated near the palace of the tradition Muslim leader, the emir, in downtown Gombe city.
