Nigeria's Protectors Turned Victims: 17 Policemen Killed By Hoodlums In South-East, South-South in 2021 | Sahara Reporters

There have been targeted attacks on police stations and policemen in the South-East and South-South regions of the country recently. Some people have linked the occurrences to a statement made by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, that with the existence of the Eastern Security Network, the regions do not need the services of the Nigeria Police.In the last recent weeks, not less than ten policemen have been brutally murdered by gunmen in 2021.

The Police Public Relations Officer , Irene Ugbo, in a telephone interview with some journalists confirmed the incident but insisted that only two policemen were killed and a soldier injured in the attack that occurred on Tuesday night. Early that month, February 1 precisely, suspected gunmen had attacked Umuoba Police Station in Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area of Abia State and killed a police inspector.

“They also burnt down the station and the vehicles parked on the premises, including one of our serviceable patrol vans.” Their invasion met with rigid opposition from police officers who were on duty when they tried to access the police premises, which led to a gun battle that claimed the lives of the security agents.

A spokesperson for the state police command, Orlando Ikeokwu, established that the hoodlums killed two police officers.
