Abuja - Thirty-five Nigerian police officers
deployed to a training academy in the remote
northeast are missing after a Boko Haram
attack on the facility earlier this week, a
spokesman said Saturday.
The Islamists attacked the academy just
outside the town of Gwoza on Wednesday.
Boko Haram seized Gwoza earlier this
month, but the military has said it is
preparing an offensive to retake the town in
Borno state.
"Thirty-five policemen who are still missing
from the facility as a result of the latest
attack are being searched for with very
promising prospects of locating them,"
national police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu
said in a statement.
