The police in Enugu have repelled an attack launched on a police station in Igbo-Eze Local Government Area of the State.
In a statement yesterday (Thursday, July 21, 2022), Police Spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, said the station came under heavy attack by the gunmen yesterday evening but they were swiftly repelled by the officers on duty, who overwhelmed the attackers with superior firepower.
“Police Operatives of the Command, on 21/07/2022 at about 6.pm, foiled an attack on Igbo-Eze North Police Division, by armed and hooded criminal elements in their numbers, operating in black-coloured Hilux Van and Toyota Highlander vehicles,” the police statement read in part.
“The hoodlums shot sporadically at the station, with the operatives returning fire, forcing the criminal elements, many of who are suspected to have sustained gunshots wounds, to escape.
“The Police did not record any casualty, while the general public and owners of medical facilities in the state, have been enjoined to report any person (s) sighted with gunshots injuries to the nearest Police Station, please.”
