Residents, who spoke on condition of anonymity, lamented the absence of security operatives while the attack lasted.

"As l speak to you, there are no policemen or soldiers in Binnari but we are told that soldiers are on their way to the area,” a resident said.

The state police spokesman, Usman Abdullahi, confirmed the attack, adding that some police officers had been deployed in the area.
“The police are now on the ground and are making effort to restore normalcy in the area. We have no casualty figure for now,” he said.
