Gunmen attacked the Isiowulu Police Station, Awada, in Anambra State’s Idemili North Local Government Area early Monday, killing the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and two others.
According to Daily Trust, the hoodlums stormed the police station at about 2:18 a.m. and engaged the officers in a gun duel.
During the attack, the police reportedly repulsed and killed three hoodlums with the assistance of military personnel.
The DPO, a newly recruited constable, and one inspector were the victims, according to Daily Trust.
The attack comes less than 24 hours after gunmen attacked the 3-3 police divisional office in Oyi local government council, killing approximately six hoodlums.
According to a local, the hoodlums began shooting as they approached the police station, and the gunfire lasted for several hours.
The source said, “In the early hours of today, these hoodlums made another deadly attempt to burn down Isiowulu Police station, Awada , near Obosi, Anambra State.
“The hoodlums were repelled by gallant security personnel with three members of the gang taken down after a hot gunfire.”
Two AK-47 rifles were recovered from them alongside the vehicles used for the operation.
Another source said, “It was terrible last night for people living close to the station, it was as if war had come close to us. Gunshots from different directions.
“This morning, I inquired and learnt that the gunmen had invaded the station, set some part of the station on fire, killed three policemen.
