Gunmen have again attacked the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS, Kuru, near Jos.
Dr. Osime Samuel, Head, Public Affairs Department of the institute, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday in Jos.
On June 16, gunmen attacked and killed three security personnel at the institute.
Samuel, however, said that security personnel neutralised one of the suspects while repelling the attack.
“The Management of NIPSS wishes to inform the public that another attempt by unidentified armed assailants to breach the institute’s security perimeter was successfully repelled by security personnel.
“The attackers engaged security operatives in a gun duel but were forced to retreat following the swift and coordinated response of the security forces.
“One of the assailants was neutralised during the encounter, while others escaped with varying degrees of injuries.
“The institute is pleased to report that there was no breach of the security perimeter.
“All participants, staff, residents and institute facilities remain safe and secure,” he said.
Samuel said that security agencies had intensified efforts to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
He added that surveillance and other proactive measures had been put in place to further strengthen security within and around the institute.
