A police officer, who pleaded anonymity, said the hoodlums were rebuffed from getting into the armoury department of the place.
He said, “Our men prevented them from having ingress into our armoury. I can’t tell you the number of casualties now because we have scanty information about the development.”
A bystander said there was heavy gunshots before the offices and vehicles were set ablaze.
Efforts to reach the Zonal Police Police Public Relations Officer, Nkeiru Nwode, proved abortive as of press time.
More details soon…
