Dozens of Boko Haram gunmen have attacked the police station in Nafada Local Government, Gombe state, looting its weaponry before burning down the station.

The attack occurred few minutes after 2pm,

According to a witness who spoke with TheCable on phone,  the gunmen operated without resistance because the policemen on duty fled for their lives.

“A group of Boko Haram members attacked the police station, went away with all the weapons in there, and burnt it down. There was no casualty because all the policemen ran away,” he said.

The police later said it arrested three people suspected to have planted the bomb, just before they escaped.
