Four people were killed in a terrorist attack on a Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) facility at the Kangiwa border on Friday evening, according to an NIS statement released Sunday.
The victims included a local watchman and three contractors who were working on-site when the attack occurred around 7:20 p.m. No immigration officers were harmed in the assault.
“The service regrets to announce a recent attack by a suspected terrorist group on our facilities and contractors on-site at the Kangiwa border,” NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo stated. “The attack led to the death of four persons, including a local watchman and three contractors. We also recorded substantial damages to our security facilities.”
Despite the tragic loss of life, Udo stated that NIS personnel were not targeted, and none were killed. The agency has pledged to intensify efforts to bring those responsible to justice.
“We are actively working alongside our sister agencies to identify and apprehend those responsible for these heinous acts,” Udo continued. “The service remains resolute and undeterred in carrying on with its core mandate of border security in tandem with the goal of securing the nation.”
Authorities have launched an investigation into the attack, which has raised concerns about increasing violence in the region. The NIS reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of its officers and contractors as they continue to safeguard Nigeria’s borders.
