Unknown gunmen have attacked Adogo
Police station in Ajaokuta Local Government
Area of Kogi State, with dynamites in an
attempt to loot the armoury, but they were
repelled by the Policemen on duty.

The attempt by the hoodlums to cart away
arms, was aborted, as the Police successfully
evacuated the arms from the station.
The attack which was carried out on Sunday
with heavy dynamites, set the building on
fire, according to a statement by the Force
Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu,
on Monday in Abuja.

The Police said no casualty was recorded by
the men on duty, but some of the hoodlums,
it said, escaped with bullet wounds, adding
that the area has been reinforced while
frantic efforts are ongoing to track-down the
fleeing gunmen.

It said, “At about 2100hrs of September 21,
2014, unknown gunmen unleashed heavy
attack on Adogo Police Station, in the
Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi
State, from different directions of Okene,
Ajaokuta, and one other route, apparently
desirous of carting away Police arms.

“The Policemen on duty, swiftly took
positions and returned fire. The heavy
dynamite launched by the attackers,
demolished and set fire on part of the
Station.”
The Police appealed to members of the
public, to report anybody seen with bullet
wound, to the nearby Police Station or other
security agency.
