It was gathered that the station was recently renovated by members of the Umuchu Improvement Union, as it was destroyed during the #EndSARS protest in 2020.
The community leaders, according to the source, had renovated the station and its adjourning infrastructure and upgraded it to fit the status of a divisional police station before donating it to the Nigeria Police Force to help in the fight against insecurity in the area.
There was no record of casualty as the security operatives had vacated the station to another location after it was destroyed during the #EndSARS protest and were yet to return.
The station was vacated after it was attacked in 2020, and there was no police officer on duty at the time of the Sunday attack.
Confirming the incident, the President-General of Umuchu Progressive Union, Charles Ezeabasili, said, “This is disheartening and unfortunate.
“While the UIU has upgraded facilities at the police station and awaited the return of police personnel, the hoodlums are busy destroying, demolishing, and burning down the facility meant for our own good. How do we progress?”
