A police Corporal was killed on Friday evening during an attack on a police station located inside Ikolaba GRA, in the Agodi area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The attackers reportedly caught the police unaware as they suddenly opened fire on the station, throwing officers on duty into confusion.
The gunmen shot sporadically into the station as they came into the premises.
The reason for the attack could, however, not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the incident.
He said investigation was ongoing to determine the cause of the attack.
“We just got information that the station was attacked but I haven’t gotten the details of the officer allegedly killed.
“We have deployed men to the area and as soon as details are available, we will get back to you,” he said.
