Suspected Boko Haram militants in Nigeria robbed a bank and attacked a police station, setting off a gun battle with security forces that killed 25 people, Yobe state Police Commissioner Sanusi Rufai said.
Five policemen were among those gunned down during the fighting yesterday in the northeastern town of Gashua, he said today by phone from the state capital of Damaturu. The attackers forced the bank manager to open the vault and stole 9 million naira ($56,500), he said.
