Unknown gunmen attack Enugu police station, cart away arms

A Divisional Police station in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State came under attack by unknown gunmen, early Tuesday morning.

Although no officer was reported killed during the attack, one of them was said to have been shot and is currently receiving treatment.

The gunmen also succeeded in carting away arms and ammunition.

A local hinted that the assailants stormed the unfenced police station at about 2 am 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.

The Enugu State Police Public command is yet to issue a statement on the reported attack.
