Hoodlums have razed the Aboh-Mbaise Police Divisional
Headquarters in Imo State.
DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen attacked the station on
Thursday while some policemen were on duty.
According to reports, the hoodlums were in possession of
inflammable substances which they used to scare the policemen on duty after which
they carried out their arson successfully.
The development caused panic in the area, as the policemen
on guard, suspects and natives ran into nearby bushes.
It was further gathered that the files and documents
belonging to the police were lost in the inferno.
A source said, “this is very strange. Fleeing hoodlums have
just set the Aboh-Mbaise Divisional Police Headquarters on fire. They didn’t
bother going into the compound. They only threw the inflammable substance at
the station and drove off a few minutes after it caught fire.
“All the policemen on duty including suspects who were being
detained ran into nearby bushes. Locals also fled their homes as the fire
raged. We have not seen this one before.”
Orlando Ikeokwu, the Imo State police public relations officer,
who confirmed the attack when contacted said that no policeman died in the
attack.
