Tension As Gunmen Attack Police Station In Akwa Ibom, Kill Policeman | Sahara Reporters

The Ini Divisional station in Odoro Ikpe, Akwa Ibom State was attacked by unknown gunmen, on Sunday.Macdon told newsmen in Uyo that the attack on the division was repelled by officers and men of the Operation Restore Peace recently launched by the Inspector General of Police.He, however, said the command lost one person in the attack, who was hit by a bullet and was rushed to a hospital for treatment but later died.

According to him, the officers of the command recovered the operational vehicle and three motorcycles from the hoodlums.“Police operatives arrested one of the hoodlums, Imo John Udo, 28, from Ikot Edem village in Essien Udim LGA of the state.“As I speak, men of the Operation Restore Peace are still combing the bush as the hoodlums possibly escaped with bullet wounds sustained in a gun duel during the attack.

“The CP, Andrew Amiengheme, has already ordered discreet investigations. In no distant time, more of the perpetrators will be arrested,” Macdon said.

adabiaframinds IGP no go see anything do now o, make youths put date for protest now him muscle go rise. adams_oshiomole and realRochas make una come tell Nigerians who is in Aso Rock. BuhariMustGo

Hmmmn... That's how bokoharam started in N.E o! They were attacking only govt security forces, somehow somehow, new guys infiltrated and hijacked it and xpnnded the scope of their attack to include civilians, may we nvr see it happen alsewhere.

Very soon those unknown gunmen will turn against you that is celebrating them, no one has the right to take another life. if we condemn policemen for killing innocent civilians we should equally condemn civilians for killing innocent policemen who wear the uniform for daily bread

buchilawsu They are very weak and can not engaged the real man. Only going house to house killing innocent civilians. Pay back time

It's a shame the PoliceNG cannot face the gunmen but can come fully kitted for June 12 protesters. This is the beginning of the end.

This is an insult and disgrace to Police Force. Imagine a hoodlum displacing police men and destroying police station. What a country

Who are this unknown gun men? And why is the police not able to secure their station properly? Why?

Hold the police responsible. If they can checkmate the activities of unarmed protesters, they should be able to intercept gun men attack. Failure to do that means they are complicit. They attacked their station and killed their colleague. All of them should be arrested.

It will stop when police learn how to arrest people in a civilised way

Oya make them face them na...only peacefull protester dem Sabi fire anyway may soul rest in peace

Ok. Next news 🗞️

Make them go write statement for another police station
