Gunmen have attacked another police station with bombs in Anambra State with three operatives feared killed.
The incident happened at Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area this morning with many policemen seriously injured, reports The Nation.
But the police authorities claimed that only a Corporal was killed by the hoodlums.
The secessionist group terrorising the entire Southeast region also attacked the Oba Civic Centre.
Last week, one of the leaders, sent a voice note on social media calling for a one month sit-at- home in the region.
Anambra police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident in a statement today in Awka.
Ikenga said: “Following, an attack in the early hours of today 3/9/2024 on Oba Police Divisional Headquarters and Oba Civic Centre.
“The suspected armed seccessionist group started shooting sporadically in an attempt to gain entrance to the Police Station and threw petrol bombs at the security facility which made some of the offices catch up with fire including the Oba Civic Center.
“Unfortunately, a police corporal who was fatally wounded paid the supreme price, while the fire was put off with the help of other Police officers on duty and the Joint Security responding team.
“The Commissioner of Police CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, while condemning the act, described the invasion of Security facilities and hostility towards security agents as an attack on the soul of a Nation and vows to bring those behind the unholy act to book.”
However, one of the Senior Police Officers in the state, told our correspondent that three of their men died during the attack.
The source regretted that such attacks on police formations had started again in Anambra State, while describing the assailants as members of the secessionist group.
