“Yes, there was an attack on Ozubulu but not the police station but vigilante office by the hoodlums,” Tochukwu said.

“They came in Sienna vehicles, motorcycles and attacked the office of the vigilante. Security operatives have been deployed to the area and normalcy has been restored.”

Soldiers have been deployed to the town to ensure adequate security.

Police stations and patrol teams in the state have come under a series of attacks by gunmen in recent months.
