An eye-witness, Malam Yusuf Ibrahim, told newsmen in Maiduguri that the incident happened when the gunmen ambushed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), near Kasubla, a commercial area in Bama town.
“Honestly, we cannot say exactly what happened but we learnt that some gunmen ambushed the DPO in Kasubla.
“Although he escaped with bullet wounds, his orderly and another police officer in his company were shot and killed,” he said.
Ibrahim added that some policemen at the Divisional Police Office engaged the gunmen in a heavy exchange of fire.
He explained that the development resulted to the destruction of at least five lock-up shops while residents of the area ran for their safety in a nearby bush.
The Commissioner of Police in Borno, Alhaji Yuguda Abdullahi, confirmed the development in a telephone interview with newsmen, saying that the DPO escaped unhurt.
