“They set the inmates free and set the facilities ablaze,” the source added.
The state police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incidents, but immediately added that the hoodlums did not gain entrance into the police station as they were repelled by the police personnel on duty. Ikenga said, “On Friday, by 11:30 pm, police operatives attached to Abagana police station resisted gunmen’s attack on the station and forestall the attackers from gaining entrance to the police facility.
“The gunmen had earlier attacked, Anambra State Vigilante Operatives on patrol, murdered two of their operatives, and on approaching the Abagana Police Station, started shooting sporadically to gain entrance to the police station. “The police operatives engaged the armed men in a gun duel, due to the superior fire of the police and in a bid for the gunmen to flee the scene, threw a petrol bomb into the station, which ignited the fire and affected the roof of an old building in the station.“Meanwhile, patrols have been intensified in the area and within the state, further, development shall be communicated, please.”All rights reserved.
