Police operatives in Imo state have successfully repelled an attack on the Njaba Divisional Headquarters by suspected hoodlums.
The attackers, arriving in three SUVs, launched a violent assault on the headquarters with sporadic gunfire.
In response, the operatives swiftly took up defensive positions and engaged the assailants, resulting in the neutralisation of three attackers, while some others who sustained various gunshot injuries, fled into nearby bushes.
During the operation, the police said they recovered one General Purpose Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, and three vehicles: a Toyota Lexus 470, a Mercedes GLK, and a Toyota Venza.
An intense operation, led by the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, is currently underway to apprehend the fleeing suspects, and ensure justice is served.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, has commended the bravery of the operatives and as well assured the general public that the Command remains committed to enhancing the State’s internal security and will continue to take decisive actions against any threats to public peace.
