Suspected Lakurawa terrorists attack a checkpoint in Kebbi State, killing two officers from the Marine Customs service, according to reports from Vanguard and The Punch. The incident occurs around 3am on Wednesday. Both outlets say the officers are attacked at their checkpoint in the Tugar community.
The Punch adds additional details about the nature of the assault, stating that one officer is burned alive during the attack. Vanguard describes the killing of the two officers but does not provide the same level of detail.
Both accounts frame the incident as part of ongoing insecurity in the region and attribute the attack to “Lakurawa terrorists,” though neither report includes independently verified claims of responsibility. The reports focus on the attack, the time it happens, and the death of the two customs officers, without citing arrests or official statements confirming key allegations.
