It has been alleged that thirty-five Policemen have been missing after Boko Haram rebels raided a training facility in Nigeria's remote just outside the town of Gwoza.
Authorities announced they had launched a search for the missing group, "with very promising prospects of locating them," Police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu said in a statement, quoted by AFP.
According to the Nigerian Police, it is the third attack by the group so far this month in the northeastern state of Borno, believed to be a Boko Haram stronghold.
Ojukwu acknowledged that some officers may have fled without having had the chance to report their whereabouts. He added that investigations were ongoing, and it was premature to speculate on whether the officers had been taken hostage by the jihadist militants.
