Brave police officers last night repelled suspected members of the
Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram, who tried to attack a police
station in Sumaila town in Sumaila local government area of Kano State.A resident of the town told reporters that suspected sect members besieged the police station and started firing, but the police officers on duty did not waste time in firing back, finally repelling the attackers.
The source added that the insurgents fled the area when it dawned on them that the police were quite prepared to counter their offensive.
The source added that many residents of the area had run out of the town to safety. "We hope that the police will be more vigilant from now because they (Boko Haram militants) often try to attack again with greater force whenever they are pushed back,"
