Unknown gunmen attempted to attack the Imo State Police Command’s headquarters in Owerri, the state capital, again on Sunday.
In a gunfight, five of the dozens of attackers were killed.
As the criminals circled the state capital, churchgoers and other citizens fled, according to NEWS DIRECT.
Bala Elkana, a police public relations officer, verified in a statement that no cops were injured in the battle.
The shooters attempted to enter the police headquarters through the Works Layout around Avan Nursery and Primary School, but were repelled, according to the spokesman.
“They arrived in a white Hummer Bus, where five hoodlums were slain and others were injured after a firefight.
Elkana continued, “The Hummer bus was discovered with four Ak47 rifles stolen from the police during a recent attack on its station.”
To apprehend the fleeing hoodlums, security personnel have been dispatched.
