The headquarters of Sector 2 Joint Task Force, North-East Operation Hadin Kai in Yobe State, has denied the assertions made in certain reports regarding the attackers at the Customs House in Geidam.
It clarified that the assailants did not arrive in gun trucks or on motorcycles; instead, they approached the Customs House on foot with their weapons concealed in their clothing.
Captain Shehu Musa, the Sector’s spokesperson, provided this clarification on Monday, addressing recent trending reports that suggested otherwise.
“I want to use this medium to inform you that the assailants came on foot with weapons concealed in their clothes and went straight to the customs house, not on gun trucks and motorcycles”, the spokesman said.
Recall that, on Saturday at about 10 p.m., gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram group stormed the Customs facility along Maine Soroa road in Geidam town and opened fire, killing one personnel.
