Gunmen suspected to be hoodlums have attacked a Nigeria Customs Service patrol base in Koko, Kebbi State, resulting in the death of one officer and the abduction of another.

The attack occurred on Thursday, July 25, 2024, around 2100 hours.

The Public Relations Officer of the Kebbi Area Command, Mohammed Tajuddeen Salisu, confirmed the incident in a press statement made available to newsmen on Sunday evening.

“With deep regret, we announce a distressing incident which occurred at our Koko Besse patrol base on Thursday, July 25, 2024, at approximately 2100 hours.

“A group of hoodlums attacked the patrol base, destroying properties and targeting our officers in a contest to the recent boost to anti-smuggling activities in the area,” Salisu stated.

He disclosed that the armed men caused significant destruction at the base before trailing and attacking two officers.

“One officer was shot and the other abducted. Unfortunately, Assistant Superintendent Customs I, Dabo Umar, lost his life while Superintendent of Customs, Babagana Abba Kabiru, was abducted and a hefty ransom was demanded for his release,” Salisu added.
