SaharaReporters gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday morning.

October 9, 2022

Some gunmen have reportedly attacked Inyi Police Division in Oji-River Local Government Area of Enugu State, killing two people and setting the station ablaze.

SaharaReporters gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday morning.

One of the two people killed was said to be a police officer on duty when the hoodlums attacked the station.

A video of the incident seen by SaharaReporters on Sunday afternoon shows a building being used as a police station on fire and the bodies of two young men lying by the perimeter fence of the station.

Voices in the background of the video identified one of the bodies as that of a policeman while it is not clear whether the second person was a policeman or not. Some voices identified the two victims as policemen, but another person said he could only identify one of them as a policeman attached to the station.

A resident of Arum Inyi where the police station is located confirmed the attack to SaharaReporters.

The source who noted that he left the community on Saturday for Enugu, said, "I got information from my community a few hours ago that unknown gunmen attacked the police station in my town, and that they killed one police officer. Right now I don't have further details."

Meanwhile, a security alert being circulated on social media platforms in the Enugu State capital warned residents of Inyi, Achi, Ufuma, Umunze, Ajari and Arondiizogu to be careful and security conscious in their areas because of the resurgence of gunmen activities.

The alert read, "Warning! Achi, Inyi, Ojiriver, Ufuma, Umunze, Ajari, Arondiizogu those axis are facing security challenges, Ngwo Iri sons & daughters, lets always be security cautious and avoid night movement, above all always commits our going out & coming in into the blood of Almighty Jesus Christ the savior."

Efforts to get the reaction of the state police command on the incident were not successful as the Command's spokesman DSP Daniel Ndukwe did not answer calls from SaharaReporters or reply to a text message sent to him.

Gunmen kill APC youth leader in Enugu

By Damian Duruiheoma, Enugu On Oct 9, 2022

A former councillor and All Progressives Congress(APC) youth leader in Igbo-Eze South local government area of Enugu State, Hon. Lucky Idoko, has been shot dead by gunmen.

Idoko, who represented Unadu community as councillor, was allegedly murdered in the village on Saturday while going about his business on a motorbike.

Though details of his alleged assassination are still sketchy, reports said Idoko, who is also chairman of Vigilante group in his community, was allegedly shot while the passenger he conveyed on his motorbike at the time of the attack escaped unhurt.

A source who spoke under anonymity told our correspondent: ”The APC chieftain was going about his business in his hometown in Unadu when the incident happened.

“What we don’t know is why he should be killed at this critical political moment. I don’t also know if he has problem with his security outfit of which he is the head.”

Enugu Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe confirmed the incident.

“Yes, the command has launched an investigation into the case of the alleged shooting and murder of one Lucky Idoko ‘m’, at Unadu community of Igbo-Eze South LGA, in the afternoon hours of 08/10/2022, by yet-to-be-identified armed hoodlums.

“Further development will be communicated, please,” Ndukwe said.

Wickedtruths:
You will NEVER see Peter Obi condemn this but the fool can demand for Kanu to be released.
In Ipob, they have members, they have operatives, they have sympathizers and they have sponsors. Operatives are the bastards killing people in the East, sponsors are those dashing them money and funding them while people like Peter Obi are sympathizers. That is why Obi is silent to their atrocities.
You see those Ipob members, Biafra is their plan A, Peter Obi is plan B. They want to use plan B (Obi) to get plan A (Biafra).
The foreign donations being used to fund ipob are now being used to fund Obi's campaign. Those donating to ipob are now donating to Obi. That is why DSS was against foreign donations the other time but the sponsors of ipob were shouting victimization.
