In Gombe, gunmen also suspected to be members of the sect attacked a police station and other locations in the city with bombs. Massive explosions were heard at the main roundabout in the city, a situation that left residents scampering for safety in different directions.
Another source said gunfire was also heard at various locations in the city including at a police station opposite the Bubayero Primary School in the city centre. The state police spokesperson was not available for comments as he didn't answer or return calls to his mobile telephone. However, no casualty was reported from the attacks.
Meanwhile the state has imposed a 24 hour curfew in the state. The Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Sule Bage, who announced the curfew, said it will be in force until there the situation is brought under control
