Terrorists Attack Kebbi Border Post, Three Immigration Officers Killed

An overnight attack on Wednesday at a Nigeria-Benin border immigration post in Bagudu, Kebbi State, left three officers dead, raising fear among local residents.

Local sources reported that gunmen stormed the post unexpectedly, opening fire on personnel before fleeing through nearby bushes. Details of the incident remain sketchy, according to Kebbi State Police spokesperson Nafiu Abubakar.

This attack follows a recent assault about a month ago at the Maje border axis, where a Customs officer was killed and vehicles were burnt, highlighting escalating insecurity along the corridor.

Authorities have linked the violence to the Lakurawa gang, known for targeting both security personnel and civilians across Kebbi State. Investigations into the latest attack are ongoing.
