Suspected armed bandits have attacked a Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) outpost in Niger State and made away with a service rifle.
The attack took place at an NSCDC nipping point in Ibrahim Leteh Village along the WawaāLuma Road in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Tuesday, the attackers stormed the outpost around 4:30 a.m. and opened fire on the facility.
Security sources said the two NSCDC personnel on duty took cover as the bandits shot repeatedly at the patrol vehicle and the small office at the location.
During the attack, the assailants reportedly stole one G3 rifle officially assigned to an NSCDC officer. No casualty was recorded.
After the incident, security operatives visited the scene and documented the damage for investigation.
Efforts are ongoing to recover the stolen rifle and arrest the attackers, while security has been reinforced in the area to prevent further attacks.
