Confirming the attack, a member of the House of Representatives, Adamu Kamale, said: ‘’President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed with false information on the capacity of Boko Haram in our area as they still carry out deadly strikes.
‘’They have attacked Magboro Police Station last night and the recent attacks indicate the group is still able to carry out major attacks and has not been defeated despite the successes achieved by Nigerian soldiers in the war.
‘’The communities in the local governments are a stone’s throw from the boundary of Sambisa Forest, the insurgents’ safe haven from where they launch attacks on us,’’ he noted.

“The truth remains that the group is still very active in our areas.’’
According to the lawmaker, no week or day passes without “one ugly incident taking place in the border communities. ‘’We want Mr. President to match words with actions because the insurgents are truly killing more people than he is even aware of, particularly in Owode Obafemi local government areas of Ogun State.”
