Early on Wednesday morning, gunmen who have not yet been identified stormed the Adamawa State Police Headquarters, which is situated in the centre of the Jimeta community in the Yola North local government area.
Yola, the state capital, is in a panic due to the unexpected attack.
A local, who begged to remain anonymous, claimed that for at least half an hour, there were gunfire noises all around.
Police Public Relations Officer SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje confirmed the attack while assuring that everything was under control.
Nguroje said that the attack was repulsed, but it was unclear who was responsible.
The police said investigations were ongoing to ascertain the cause of the attack and those behind it.
One source said the attackers were military personnel on a revenge mission, following the alleged killing of a military officer by the police.
