BY ADEYEMI AKANJI, BAUCHI – Yet to be identified gunmen believed to be terrorists operating in the Lame/Burra forest in Bauchi state on Tuesday attacked the convoy of the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 12, Bauchi, AIG Audu Madaki killing one of his Police escorts and injuring him.
It was gathered that the convoy of the AIG which was on its way from Bauchi to Abuja on an official assignment was attacked by the terrorists at the Barde-Jagindi area of Kaduna State at about 2.30pm.
A source at the Police Zone 12 headquarters, Bauchi told our Correspondent that AIG Madaki was shot at and injured during the attack while his orderly was shot dead.
AIG Madaki is presently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja while security has been beefed up around the Zone.
Already, armed police personnel have been drafted to the area to comb the bush in order to fish out the terrorists.
Efforts made to get an official confirmation of the unfortunate incident from the Zonal PPRO, Thomas Goni failed as he did not pick calls neither did he respond to WhatsApp chats or replied text messages to his mobile phone.
