BREAKING: Policemen Killed As Gunmen Strike In Anambra

• Many policemen have been killed as gunmen struck in Anambra State.

 

EKOHOTBLOG reports that unknown gunmen have killed a yet-to-be ascertained number of policemen in Anambra State.

It was gathered that the police vehicles were also set ablaze by the gunmen.

 

The attack was said to have occurred at a security post mounted by the police operatives.

 

It was further learnt that many other policemen sustained varying degrees of injury during the shooting incident which occurred at Okija in the Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State on Thursday evening.

 

“About three police vehicles were also set ablaze,” a source disclosed.

However, other circumstances surrounding the attack, including the identities of the assailants had yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.

 

EKOHOTBLOG reports that the incident is the latest in what appears to be a growing trend of attacks on police stations and security personnel in the South-East region of the country.

The governors in the region had recently announced the establishment of a joint security outfit, codenamed ‘Ebube Agu’ to “battle rising insecurity”.

 

This was just as the Federal Government (FG) blamed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) along with its security wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN) for the attacks, an allegation the secessionist group has denied.
