    ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militia affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN), have been accused of yesterday’s attack on Agwa Police Station.

    According to the Imo State Police Command, two suspects in custody escaped, while four police officers gallantly paid the supreme price, during the attack.

    The police added that one rifle is yet to be recovered.

    Gunmen had attacked the Agwa Divisional Police headquarters in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo state, killing four officers on Friday.

    The police spokesman Micheal Abattam confirmed the report in a statement made available in Owerri, Imo State.

    The police statement reads,” The hoodlums who came in two vehicles and a tipper, shooting sporadically, used a tipper vehicle in forcing the gate open to gain entrance into the station, throwing Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDS) and petrol bombs.

    “The police operatives of the division, joined by the Command’s Tactical Teams gave the hoodlums a stiff resistance, engaging them in a gun duel. The hoodlums who were fatally hit with a lot of casualties on their side, retreated, escaping in their vehicles.

    “The fire which affected a parked private car and some motorcycles was later put off, preventing it from causing more damages. Fortunately, the building was not affected.

    “In the attack, two suspects in custody escaped, four police officers gallantly paid the supreme price, while one rifle is yet to be recovered. Meanwhile, the area has been fortified with enough police operatives.

    CP Mohammed Ahmed Barde, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State who went to the scene on confidence-building patrol and assessment of the incident, visited the Eze of the Community, HRH Eze (Dr) I. O Asor (fcin) in his Palace.

    He assured the Command’s commitment to ensuring that peace is restored and that the Command will leave no stone unturned until the perpetrators of the dastardly act are arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.

    Barde urged them to report any person seen treating bullet wounds or hiding within their communities to the nearest police station or call the Command’s emergency control room numbers 08034773600 or 08098880197
