Two police officers have been confirmed dead following an attack by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, popularly known as Shi’ites, in the Wuse area of Abuja.
Confirming the incident on Sunday, August 25, 2024, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said three policemen were unconscious in the hospital, adding that three police patrol vehicles were set ablaze by Shi’ites.
“The proscribed organisation attacked the police checkpoint unprovoked, wielding machetes, improvised explosive devices (locally made bombs in bottles with kerosene), and knives,” Adeh stated.
