The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) says unidentified gunmen attack a patrol team in Niger State, killing one of its officers and seriously injuring another. Reports describe the incident as occurring during a routine surveillance patrol along the Tunga Taya–Woro axis, with the NIS confirming the death of an officer and detailing that a colleague was hurt.
In statements cited by multiple outlets, the NIS publicly confirms the casualty figures and names the deceased officer in one report. The service also vows to bring the perpetrators to justice, with officials saying investigations are underway and that further actions will follow. Coverage focuses on the immediate impact on NIS personnel and the service’s response, with differences mainly in the level of detail provided about timing and the identity of the officer killed.
