The Kebbi Police Command said on Monday that it had foiled
an attempt by unknown gunmen to attack the Kebbi State College of Basic and
Advanced Studies in Yauri, headquarters of Yauri Local Government Area of the
state.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Benjamin Onwuka, told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Birnin Kebbi that the incident occurred in the
early hours of Saturday.
Onwuka, however, dismissed insinuations that the attackers
were insurgents.
He stated that normalcy had been restored in the institution
as both the students and residents of the area had resumed their normal daily
activities.
The police commissioner called on residents of the area to
remain law abiding and to avoid spreading rumours.
Onwuka, however, appealed to the public to continue to
assist the police with relevant information that would assist security agencies
to contain crime in the state.
Meanwhile, a student of the college, who pleaded anonymity,
told NAN that the gunmen gained entry into the school’s premises at about 2
a.m. on Saturday.
