ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Some unidentified gunmen, on Wednesday evening, attacked the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) office of the Abia State police command in Umuahia, inflicting serious injury on three police officers.
During the attack, one sustained severe matchete cuts while two others were shot. However, no death was recorded.
The injured officers have since been taken to the hospital for medical attention.
A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the armoury was also invaded, though it is not clear if arms were carted away.
Meanwhile, the facility had been attacked previously and burnt down by unknown gunmen.
All efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO of the command, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna proved abortive, as at the time of filing this report.
