Gunmen on Friday night attacked Obowo Divisional Police Headquarters, located at Umulowe autonomous community area of Imo State and killed two policemen who were on duty.

The hoodlums also injured three other cops who resisted them from gaining access into the headquarters.

Our correspondent learnt on Saturday that the incident caused panic in the area.

This is even as security operatives drafted from the command’s headquarters in Owerri, had taken over the area.

A source told The PUNCH that the hoodlums who operated in a vehicle met stiff opposition from policemen who were on duty when they tried to gain access into the police premises.

Displeased by the cops’ action who resisted them, the hoodlums opened fire at the officers, killing two policemen while three were shattered by their gun bullets.

Our correspondent also gathered that one of the hoodlums was killed in the gun duel but the hoodlums drove off with the corpse of their member.
‌
The source said, “Two policemen died in the incident. Three were wounded. One of the hoodlums was also killed but they drove off with him. The policemen who were killed were the ones who repelled them. It was an unfortunate development.”

Spokesperson for the state police command, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed when contacted that two policemen were killed by the hoodlums.

He also said that the three other policemen who were wounded during the incident had been discharged from a local hospital where they were rushed and transferred to a better hospital in the state capital.

Ikeokwu told our correspondent that the command had drafted cracked teams of detectives in the area and had commenced investigation.

It shall never be well with Buhari and his family

keep blaming Buhari!!

Keep covering the atrocities of this beasts you created.

E go soon be una like film!!

That's the Mistake our leaders made... Using insecurity to play politics... That's why the north is in this mess today.

Thank God that we are gradually getting out of our own.

Una own just dey start!!

Soon them go graduate and show their true colours!!

Now they're killing policemen, attacking soldiers, and the herdsmen that you perceive as enemies... And you're all defending and clapping for them.

Like I said... E go soon be una like film

The perpetrators must be identified and brought to book.

Fahdiga:
Time for the Fulanis to leave the south east. they have committed a lot of crimes

My brother, the topic says "hoodlums", but your hate-filled bigoted mind can only think of "Fulanis"..


Like I said before, the infamous "Criminal Tribes Act" of 12 October 1871 enacted in British India has resurfaced in Nigeria... This inhuman act believed that the denotified tribes (or Vimukta Jati) were genetically criminals or hereditary criminals, hence, found them guilty even at birth... Though the law has long been repealed (1952), its impact is still being felt even now...

Unfortunately, that repealed law seems to have awakened... Not in India... but in the minds of "Southern Nigerians"... Our hardworking, law-abiding, peaceful Fulani brothers and sisters happen to be at the receiving end... Several years of campaign of calumny against them being the chief reason for this inhuman label...

The Fulanis are like the Israelites surrounded by enemies. But victory belongs to God Almighty.

E go better...

God bless Nigeria.

Nigeria police officers are now endangered species.

I hate to be the one to say this, but are these attacks on security agents in the East some type of payback for the way the Nigerian soldiers cowardly killed innocent civilians in Orlu? Are ESN warming up to the ultimatum notice to evict the Fulani criminals in about 7 days time by sending a clear message to the security agencies to stay off their impending mission? time will tell sha but we don't need all this needless bloodshed.

Enough of the attacks on Police men please. Only cowards do that

I want to advise the Nigeria police to re strategise now. If bringing back Sars will save your lives, do it now! Nigeria police fight back now. I hate nonsense. Why murder police officers in cold blood? Nigeria police officers, protect yourselves at all cost. These are people fathers, brothers, husband's, wives, mothers , daughters and sons too. Stop killing them

Noted

UN and indeed the world should step in and divide Nigeria now, insecurity is snowballing by the day and 200 milion lives are at stake.

If Nigeria collapses due to these budding crises, its impact will reverbrate across the entire West Africa and Europe will withness a massive wave of migrants excaping violence and starvation.

Save the situation now and divide Nigeria or face terrible consequences on the EU. Worse still you won't have the moral right to turn back refugees excaping war.

Another Igbo sacrificed by IPOB for Kanu's financial gain.

Looks like the security agencies are busy burning down their offices in the east, just to build up a terrorism case against IPOB..

criminals everywhere

Nigeria police is calling for war with their lies

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Maybe Imo residents are now clandestinely organising to avenge the senseless murders of Orlu women and children, whenever the police and army come looking for ESN.

It could also be the Fulani terrorists, doing the shooting so that eventually Buhari's terroristic government will start blaming these occurrences on IPOB

RIP to the departed.

Amen

This fulanis are a hell of a lowlife set of people
They must not bring this their foolishness down south

What the hell fulanis shooting police men

This rubbish the ESN is embarking on will be met with decisive force. You guys seem to be stupid and blind to the consequences of your actions. A word is enough for the wise. Quit this rubbish you guys are doing.

Who is this one? Ogbeni carry your scrawny unwashed self comot for here abeg! I resemble ESN coordinator to you? Go and confront ESN if you're a man enough and stop ranting on here like a rabid dog.

The EAST is presently the most unsafe region in this Country. Whoever like himself, should stay away from that Region. As for me, I'm relocating from Aba to the North.

Nobody or group can DIVIDE Nigeria. IGBO wants to use IPOB to turn the EAST to another SYRIA, so be it. We are watching from distance .

Now you have decided that it's ESN that did that, how did ypu come to that decision? If you are sure, you can point them out, because it doesn't make any sense to go killing people like that no matter who but that you have being brainwashed to hate igbos shows by this statement of yours, cowards and simple minds like you are the ones that embolden these murderers from everywhere to use igbos as scapegoats, now little minds like you everywhere will start talking like you saying ESN are going about killing police men for nothing
