He said that the affected area was thoroughly screened and the projectiles were recovered intact, rendering the area safe.

“In a separate incident, 20 suspects were arrested for burning tyres and inciting disturbances in Maiduguri.

”They are currently under interrogation and investigation for transparent prosecution,” he said.

Lawal explained that another violent incident occurred on the same day in Bassam Galomari Village, Gubio II Ward, under Gubio Local Government Area.

According to him, Fulani herdsmen, carrying cows, allegedly entered a farm belonging to a local resident, leading to a confrontation.

Lawal said, ”The farm owner attempted to remove the herdsmen from his property, but they resisted, and one of the Fulani men attacked the farmer, cutting both his hands.

”The victim was rushed to Gubio Hospital, where he was referred to Maiduguri Hospital for further treatment.

He added that the security agencies have been mandated to respond to the situation with a view to resolving the crisis.

Lawal said that the security forces have remained on high alert, working to maintain public safety and prevent further incidents. (NAN)
