This is contained in a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer, (SPRO) Deputy Comptroller of Immigration (DCI), Kenneth Udo on Sunday in Abuja.

Udo said that the attack occurred around 19:20 hours on Friday, Jan. 10, resulting in the deaths of a local watchman and three contractors.

He, however, extended condolences to the families of the victims and assured the public that efforts were underway, in collaboration with sister agencies, to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice.

He also reiterated the NIS’s unwavering resolve to continue its core mandate of securing the nation’s borders and enhancing national security.

“The service regrets to announce a recent attack by a suspected terrorist group on our facilities and contractors on site, at the Kangiwa border in Kangiwa local government area of Kebbi State.

“The attack led to the death of four persons, including a local Watchman and three contractors.

“We also recorded substantial damages on our security facilities. No immigration officers were killed during the attack.

“We send our heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased. We are actively working alongside our sister agencies to identify and apprehend those responsible for these heinous acts and bring them to justice.

“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,” he said.
