Suspected Armed seccessionists in the early hours Tuesday launched attack on Oba Police Divisional Headquarters and Oba Civic Center.
In a press statement, PPRO Anambra State Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga stated that the group started shooting sporadically in an attempt to gain entrance to the Police Station and also threw petrol bombs at the security facility which made some of the offices go up in flames including the Oba Civic Center.
Unfortunately, a police corporal who was fatally wounded paid the supreme price, while the fire was put off with the help of other Police officers on duty and the Joint Security responding team.
He also stated that the Police-led Joint Security Force comprising the Army, Navy, Civil defence and other security agencies are currently in a joint on-slaught operation within Oba and its environments.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, while condemning the act, described the invasion of Security facilities and hostility towards security agents as an attack on the soul of a Nation and vowed to bring those behind the unholy act to book.
