The police command in Anambra says gunmen attacked its Neni
divisional police station in Anaocha LGA of the state.

 

Tochukwu Ikenga, the command’s spokesperson, said the gunmen
attacked the police station with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) which
affected a part of the building.

 

He added that police officers on duty resisted the attackers
and forced them to desert the area.

“No life was lost, no policeman was whisked away and no arm
was taken away. Instead, the hoodlums threw IEDs into the police facility which
touched part of the building,” Ikenga disclosed

 

 “Our operatives
gallantly resisted the attackers which made them flee; operations are still
ongoing.”

Last month, the Anambra police command said it recovered
AK-47 rifles stolen by gunmen in a 2021 attack on the police headquarters in
the state.

 

Ikenga added that one of the rifles was stolen from the area
command headquarters in Ogidi in 2023 when some assailants attacked the
formation.
