Four Officers Injured as Gunmen Raze Imo Police Station
Unknown gunmen have invaded the Imo State Divisional Headquarters on Saturday night and freed suspects at the detention facility while injuring four policemen.
Unknown gunmen have invaded the Imo State Divisional Headquarters on Saturday night and freed suspects at the detention facility while injuring four policemen.

It was gathered that gunmen razed the Isiala Mbano Police Divisional Headquarters located at Umuelemai in Imo State and carted away ammunition.
According to reports, on arrival, the gunmen cordoned off the station, sacked police officers on duty, freed suspects and invaded the facility’s arms storage department before setting it ablaze.
It was also stated that the culprits did not flee immediately but stayed by and supervised the burning of the police facility.
The source said, “The gunmen came, condoned off the divisional headquarters and immediately opened fire on the policemen on duty. This was after they had freed all the suspects and collected all the arms. Afterwards, they set it ablaze using petrol to ignite the fire. This is very unfortunate.”
The Interim Management Committee chairman of Isiala Mbano LGA, Chika Okoroike, confirmed the attack. He said that he was facilitating the rescue mission.
He blamed the removal of soldiers from Anara town 24 hours before the attack.
Okoroike said that he made fervent moves to make sure that the military men posted out of Anara town on Friday without any reason returned, but all to no avail.
The police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, also confirmed the attack on the division.
This makes it the fourth police divisional headquarters that had been attacked since February after Obowo, Aboh Mbaise and Ihitte/Uboma divisions were attacked, respectively.
