Gunmen on Tuesday razed the Ehime Mbano Local Government
Area Divisional Police Headquarters in Imo State.
This development came just a day after unknown gunmen
attacked Owerri Correctional Centre and the Imo State Police Command
headquarters, freeing 1,884 inmates and razing over 50 vehicles.
Tuesday’s attack came few hours after the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, the just sacked Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu, and other Government functionaries visited the state to inspect the level of damage on the attacked security facilities.
On arrival, the gunmen freed all the suspects in detention before setting the Police Divisional headquarters ablaze.
Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen operated without
any resistance from policemen.
A source said, “Gunmen this evening razed Ehime Mbano LGA
police divisional headquarters. On arrival, the gunmen freed the suspects
before wrecking the havoc.”
A police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, said
that he could not confirm the development when he was contacted by our
correspondent on Tuesday evening.
But a senior police officer who does not want his name in
print said that the Command’s hierarchy was saddened by the latest development.
Gunmen had between February and March
razed Obowo, Abo Mbaise, Ihitte/ Uboma and Isiala Mbano Divisional Police
Headquarters, killings three cops and injuring others.
