ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- At least one AK-47 rifle loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition, two riot gunners and some ammunition were stolen by armed hoodlums who attacked Nkporo Police Divisional Headquarters in Ohafia Area Command.
The Abia State Police command’s spokesman, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, made this known in a statement.
He said the hoodlums who operated in three Toyota Sienna buses shot sporadically, dislodged policemen on duty, broke into the station’s armoury and stole the items.
Ogbonna noted that the attackers also made away with sets of uniforms kept in the armoury and offices and injured three police constables.
“However, prompt collaborative effort of the police and the military resulted in the abandonment and recovery of one Toyota Sienna, together with some service uniforms, shoes and personal effects taken away from the policemen.
“Two of the injured policemen are admitted in the hospital while one was treated and discharged,” he added.
