EKO HOT BLOG reports that a police sergeant was reportedly injured and several vehicles were burnt during an attack on Wednesday morning on Ayamelum Divisional Police Station, Anaku, in Anambra State by some unknown gunmen.

The incident, which happened in the early hours of Wednesday, was the fifth attack to be recorded in the state within one week.

Last Wednesday, four police officers were killed when gunmen attacked Atani Divisional Police Headquarters in Ogbaru Council Area of the state.

Also, three police officers were injured, on Thursday, in another attack at a police checkpoint along Ekwulobia expressway in the state.

On Monday, five wedding guests were abducted in Akpo Community, Aguata Local Government Area of the state while they were returning from a traditional marriage ceremony of a cousin to the Anambra State Commissioner for Special Duties, Sly Ezeokenwa.

The police spokesperson in the state, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the latest attack on Anaku police facility, Wednesday afternoon.

Said the attackers after being successfully repelled threw a locally made explosive into the police station’s compound, but no casualties were recorded.

“The operatives stood firm and engaged the hoodlums which made them flee the scene,” Ikenga said.
