Unknown gunmen on Friday night attacked three Police
Stations in Rivers State and reportedly shot seven policemen dead.
Security sources said that at Elimgbu Police Station about
four policemen were killed by the gunmen, while at Choba Police Station along
East-West road, opposite University of Port Harcourt, two policemen were
killed.
The Choba and Elimgbu Police Stations are both in Obio-Akpor
Local Government Area, while one policeman was allegedly killed at Rumuji
Police Station, in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Also, unconfirmed numbers of operational vehicles were
reportedly burnt.
Both Choba and Rumuji Police Stations are located along

entry towns bordering Rivers.
Another curfew was imposed on residents within the state
starting from 10 pm to 6am.
The Rivers State Police Command confirmed the attacks last
night and said the top hierarchy of the Police Command would visit the affected
