About a few days ago, the Nigerian military revealed in one of their successful mission against terrorism in the northern part of Nigeria that they had rescued some police officers in Yobe State who were abducted by terrorists during an attack in the police station....CONTINUE READING
However, according to a verified publication, the Yobe police force recently gave a clear contrasting report on the incident, where they noted that no police officers were abducted to have even warranted any rescue operation by the Nigerian military.
These reports from these two verifiable sources who have continually been active in the fight against criminality and other forms of terrorism in the country may somewhat cause some to question which could be factual.
The attack actually happened at the police facility 11 days ago from today, and just two days ago, the Nigerian military revealed the information about a rescue of the abducted police officers.
Now, before the report of the Nigerian military, it was 9 days after the attack on the police station had taken place, and with such, that would have given enough time for not only the military but also the Nigerian police to ascertain and publicly reveal any more significant casualties that had taken place on the said day; being an abduction of police officers.
But as there was no report of such, and also considering the fact that since the military and the police never gave any statement about an abduction of anyone or police officers on that particular day of attack as it has always been the case, especially when it has to do with security agencies in the country, one may not be wrong to believe that there could probably never have been any abducted officers, hence, ruling out the possibility on the report of rescuing any officers.
Though one would not be wrong to say the Nigerian military actually made a rescue operation when they attacked these terrorists in their hideouts, due to the fact that they were subdued, but it seems likely that those rescued weren’t police officers.
