Again, unknown gunmen on Tuesday bombed another police station in Anambra State.
The attack on Oba Divisional Police Headquarters, Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of the state, resulting in the killing of a police corporal and several other officers and civilians physically injured.
The nearby Oba Civic Centre and some offices within the vicinity were razed by fire.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of state police command, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, added that a joint security force comprising the army, navy, civil defence, and other agencies is working to apprehend and bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to justice.
According to him, “The suspected armed secessionist group started shooting sporadically in an attempt to gain entrance to the Police Station and threw petrol bombs at the security facility, which made some of the offices catch up with fire, including the Oba Civic Center.
“Unfortunately, a police corporal, who was fatally wounded paid the supreme price, while the fire was put off with the help of other police officers on duty and the Joint Security responding team.
“The Commissioner of Police CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, while condemning the act, described the invasion of Security facilities and hostility towards security agents as an attack on the soul of a nation and vowed to bring those behind the unholy act to book.”
