Suspected bandits ambushed and brutally killed two immigration officers at the Kangiwa border in the Arewa local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The attackers launched a deadly assault on the officers at the entry point in Gari Garba, approximately 12 kilometers away from Kangiwa town.
The victims, identified as Isah Nafui (DSI 34057) and Garba Haruna Fana (NIS 17796), were on duty at the border, when they tragically lost their lives in the unprovoked attack.

The authorities revealed that an investigation has been promptly initiated to apprehend the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
