Gunmen Attack Enugu Police Station, Cart Away Arms
It was gathered that a policeman on night duty at the police station was shot but was not killed.
Gunmen on Tuesday, attacked the Isi-Uzo Divisional police station in Ikem, Enugu state, and allegedly carted away with the police arms and ammunition.
Sources from Isi-Uzo narrated that the assailant stormed the unfenced police station at about 2 am on Tuesday with a Toyota Sienna bus, 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,” the source said.
It was gathered that a policeman on night duty at the police station was shot but was not killed.
The divisional police station was in the past under severe attacks by armed robbers who terrorised banks at Ikem and Eha-Amufu, resulting in the closure of banks in the area for over ten years now.
