Thirty-five Nigerian policemen are missing following an insurgent attack Saturday on a police training school in one of the most volatile parts of the African nation, police said.
A search-and-rescue effort has been launched after the third attack this month the Gwoza Training camp in Borno State, according to a statement posted online by the Nigeria Police Force.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone had claimed responsibility.
Afterward, the force’s Inspector-General Suleiman Abba ordered that security be tightened around all police facilities in the country.
It’s not known what happened to the missing officers, though the police force statement did say there is a “very promising prospect of locating them.”
