Security operatives at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Plateau State, on Wednesday night repelled another attack by suspected gunmen, killing one of the assailants during a gun battle.
The attack occurred at about 11 pm when the gunmen reportedly attempted to breach the institute’s security perimeter but were repelled by security personnel.
The institute confirmed the incident in a statement issued on Thursday by its Head of Public Affairs, Dr Osime Samuel.
According to the statement, the attackers engaged security operatives in a gun duel but retreated following what it described as a swift and coordinated response by security forces.
