Three officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) were killed on Thursday night when terrorists attacked a checkpoint in Bakin Ruwa community, Bagudu local government area of Kebbi State.
The attackers are suspected to be members of the Lakurawa armed group.
They reportedly set a patrol vehicle ablaze and destroyed the temporary structure at the checkpoint during the assault.
The incident became public after a security analyst, Bakatsine, posted a video on X on Friday showing the aftermath of the attack.
His words: “Yesterday night, gunmen suspected to be Lakurawa attacked the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) checkpoint in Bakin Ruwa community, Bagudu LGA of Kebbi State.
“They killed 3 NIS officers, set a vehicle ablaze and destroyed the shelter area during the attack.”
He also questioned what measures communities and authorities could adopt to improve safety in the area.
