BREAKING: Four Dead As Gunmen Attack Imo Police Station by MANDIPUTIN: 12:54pm On Aug 06, 2021
Gunmen on Thursday night attacked the Divisional Police Headquarters in the Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.

The attack claimed the lives of four persons which included a police Inspector and three of the attackers.

While parts of the police Division were burnt, cars parked on the premises were not spared.

The PUNCH gathered that the attackers and the policemen on duty engaged in a gun battle for some time.

The police spokesperson for the state police command, Mike Abattam, who confirmed the development to our correspondent, disclosed that the incident took place around 11.35 pm on Thursday.

He informed that some of the surviving bandits escaped with bullet wounds.

Abattam said, “On August 5, about 21:35 hours, armed bandits, in their numbers attacked and threw explosives and petrol bombs on top of the roof of Orsu Police station damaging the roof and causing fire outbreak in the station which spread and affected some of the vehicles parked at the parking lot. The command’s tactical teams on the ground engaged the bandits in a gun duel.


“And due to the superior firepower of the police the bandits were subdued. Three of the bandits were neutralized and their guns, one pump action gun, and two locally-made double barrel pistols were recovered while others escaped into the bush with bullet wounds. Unfortunately, a police inspector lost his life in the attack.

“Meanwhile the command is using this medium to call on the good people of Imo State especially, the Orsu community to assist the police with credible information that will lead to the arrest of the escaped bandits and to report to the nearest police station any person seen with or treating bullet wounds. Also, hospitals are advised to ensure that they report any person who comes to them for treatment of bullet wounds.”

If people comply with police they arrest those behind the attacks

But the attackers were killed by the state's security personnel. So I doubt the attackers were also state sponsored terrorists.

Who attacks a police station with pump actions?

How can you engage people with pump action and locally made pistols for sometime when you have AK47?

Nigeria Police should stop killing their officers and burning police stations just to pin it on IPOB

Enough is Enough

DSS and their imported fulani thugs attacked the police station, prolly after killing innocent passers-by..to make it look like the police station was attacked.

That was how a Fulani police officer opened fire on his neighbors, killed over five and claimed that it was gunmen...if not for the fact that one of his victims survived and exposed him... nobody would have known what really happened there. Till today, the police man has not been convicted, rather they were giving excuses for him, claiming that he was drunk, even though his neighbors swore he has never touched alcohol in all the years he lived with them.

These people are evil...they will do anything to push their agenda.
