Meanwhile, the Borno State police command said it had arrested 13 suspects in connection with Saturday's attack on Mafa police station in Mafa LGA of the state. Unknown gunmen attacked the station at about 9pm killing two policemen after an exchange of fire.
Mr. Samuel Tizhe, the spokesman of the command, said in a statement in Maiduguri yesterday that some of the attackers suffered bullet wounds after the incident.
"It is true that unknown gunmen attacked the Mafa police station around 9pm killing two policemen. They did not succeed in taking away either arms or ammunition because their effort was repelled by policemen on duty," Tizhe said.
He added that the suspected attackers were traced to a nearby village through blood stains on their path as they escaped from the station.
"Some of them suffered gun wounds and the police traced them through the blood stains to a nearby village. Thirteen suspects have so far been arrested and investigations are still going on into the matter," Tizhe said.
