The Police said on Tuesday that eight of its 35 personnel missing during an attack on the Police Mobile Force training camp at Gwoza, Borno, have been found.
The camp was reportedly attacked by the Boko Haram insurgents.
ACP Emmanuel Ojukwu, the Force Public Relations Officer, who confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, said the officers were found in the last two days.
