Gunmen, Sunday morning, attacked a police outpost in Mgbakwu
community, Awka North Local Government Area, a short distance from the capital
city of Awka, Anambra State.
Sources said the men who invaded the police outpost very
early in the morning attempted to set the facility on fire, but were quickly
repelled by policemen on duty.
The state police command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP
Toochukwu Ikenga confirmed the attack, stating that the men were repelled
immediately, and that no live was lost.
The PPRO quoted the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP M.B kuryas as assuring Anambra people that the command was not deterred by the criminal actions of unscrupulous individuals and groups in the state, but will continue to provide security.
Ikenga said, “The commissioner reiterates that the command
will not relent in its commitment to delivering on its mandate of ensuring that
peace, safety and order reign supreme in all nooks and crannies of the state.”
He added,” The hoodlums armed with guns and dangerous
weapons had attempted to burn down the Station but were successfully repelled
by the Police personnel on duty.
“The CP warns the criminals not to test any further the
resolve and ability of the Police and other security agencies in the State to
apprehend and bring them to book.
“He calls on Ndi- Anambra to, in unity, speak-out against
the unwholesome and unwarranted criminal attack on security agencies and
critical infrastructure in the state. He also calls on them to avail the
security agencies with information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution
of these criminal elements.”
