Some suspected hoodlums, on Sunday, set ablaze the Umuchu
police station in Aguata LGA of Anambra state.
Tochukwu Ikenga, spokesperson of the state police command,
confirmed the incident.
According to him, the station was under renovation at the
time of the incident.
The facility was reportedly destroyed during the #EndSARS
protest in 2020 and is just being renovated by the community leaders.
“The police station
was still under renovation before the hoodlums came in the early hours today
and set it ablaze,” Ikenga said.
“The situation is under control and calm has returned to the
area. We want to use this opportunity to reach out to the people of the
community to assist the police with information on the already ongoing
investigation.”
The attack on Umuchu station comes less than two weeks after
some gunmen attacked the Ihiala divisional headquarters with explosives.
In April 2022, gunmen attacked a police checkpoint in
Aguata, which resulted in three officers sustaining injuries.
In June, the police divisional
headquarters in Anaku, Anyamelum area of state, was attacked by gunmen.
