The insurgents also burnt down the military base and a section of the police station in the village.
Six police officers were killed on Wednesday after when gunmen believed to be Boko Haram fighters attacked Dapchi, a village in Yobe State, Mohammed Goje, the Executive Secretary of Yobe State Emergency Management Agency , has said.
Our reporter sighted the convoy of the SEMA boss as they returned from Dapachi Thursday morning and followed them to the General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital mortuary where the bodies were deposited. “We have therefore given instruction at the mortuary that their corpse should be properly taken care of for identification. They deserve befitting burials from their families.”
