Hoodlums have reportedly attacked the Isi-Uzo Divisional police station in Ikem, Enugu State, and allegedly carted away arms and ammunition.
The hoodlums stormed the police station located along Nsukka-Eha-Amufu-Nkalagu federal highway at about 2 a.m. in a minibus, reportedly shouting “Release Nnamdi Kanu,” “No Nnamdi Kanu, no peace”.
“They came through Eha-Amufu and left through the same axis but it’s not possible they got to Eha-Amufu township or crossed to Nkalagu, otherwise, they would have been encountered by the soldiers in that area. It’s possible they went through Aguamede to Benue State,” a source told Vanguard.
A security officer, who was at the station when the incident occurred said that the gunmen shot sporadically for over 30 minutes.
It was further gathered that a policeman on night duty at the police station was shot but was not killed.
The divisional police station had been attacked by armed robbers, who terrorised banks at Ikem and Eha-Amufu, leading to the closure of banks in the area for over 10 years.
SaharaReporters learnt that Nkem divisional police station is the only one in the whole of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area with the closest one at Obollo-Afor, some 30 kilometers away.
A divisional police station in Eha-Amufu town was closed after an armed robbery attack that left many policemen killed.
Efforts to reach the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, were unsuccessful.
However, a police source confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters, saying an investigation had begun to find those responsible for the attack.
