Gunmen attacks police zonal headquarters in Anambra

An undisclosed number of Gunmen have reportedly attacked the Zonal Police Headquarters, Zone13, Ukpo, Anambra State.

The gunmen reportedly burnt some offices and scores of vehicles during the attack.

A police officer, who pleaded anonymity, said the hoodlums were rebuffed from getting into the armory department of the place.

He said, “Our men prevented them from having ingress into our armory. I can’t tell you the number of casualties now because we have scanty information about the development.”

A bystander said there were 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.
