The Police Public Relation Officer in the state, ASP Abdulkarim Dungus confirmed the incident but said the number of casualties are still sketchy as means of communications have been tempered with making contacts very difficult .

Efforts to speak with the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Sector 2 Operation Lafiya Dole, Lieutenant Chinonso Oteh proved abortive as he could not be reached on the phone.

Dapchi, a town about 100 kilometers from Damaturu the state capital was last attacked on March 5, 2020 in which seven mobile police officers were killed and also an armored vehicle burnt down.
