The assailants, armed with firepower, stormed the police station in Gajiram town, leaving parts of the facility in flames.

The attack led to the death of four officers, while others, fortunate to survive, faced the terror onslaught. A local source described the situation, stating, “There was confusion in our town last night. The ISWAP fighters attacked the police station in Gajiram. They outnumbered and overpowered the policemen on duty. We found four dead bodies of the policemen who lost their lives early this morning. Some policemen are yet to return as we speak.”

Despite military reinforcements arriving after the attack, the terrorists managed to escape before being apprehended. Borno State Police Command spokesman, ASP Nahum Kenneth, reported, “Yes, when we got the report and contacted the military, they responded swiftly, but unfortunately, the invaders had escaped.”

He further confirmed the incident, saying, “We received reports that insurgents attacked the Gajiram Police Station around 1 am today, Saturday, February 3. Four policemen indeed paid the supreme price in an exchange of fire with the terrorists when security agents quickly mobilized to repel the attack. Normalcy has since been restored in the town.
