Unidentified gunmen have invaded the Nsukwa Divisional Police Station in the Aniocha South Local Government Area of the State, killing three operatives of the Nigeria Police and a suspect.
Residents were thrown into panic as the gunmen attacked the station around 2am on Sunday as sporadic gunshots were heard for hours, keeping residents awake throughout the night, SaharaReporters reported.
Reports say the building and vehicles parked in the station were burnt while the gunmen took away their ammunition and also released some suspects at the station.
There has been a hike in the frequency of attacks on security agencies in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones of the country in recent times, which has compounded the security challenges in the two regions.
