Unknown gunmen have razed the Bendel divisional police
headquarters in Abia state.
The attackers were said to have invaded the station on
Wednesday night, before opening fire on police officers present.
It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties in
the incident or the extent of damage done.
Wednesday’s incident occurred three days after some hoodlums
razed some police assets when they attacked a station in Ikwuano LGA of Abia.
It is also the latest in a series of attacks on security and
government facilities, not just in Abia but in other parts of the south-east
and south-south.
On Tuesday, hoodlums burnt the office of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NLDEA) in Amaekpu in Ohafia LGA.
Two days earlier, gunmen also razed the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Ohafia.
At least four police stations were attacked over the weekend
in various parts of southern Nigeria.
There is no confirmed cause of the attacks yet, but killings in the south-east tripled after the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) launched a security arm — the group denies any wrongdoing.
The federal government recently approved new security
measures to be deployed to restore peace in the south-east and south-south.
