Gunmen
No fewer than three police officers have been severely injured after unknown gunmen reportedly attacked The Akwa-Ibom State Police Headquarters.
The Command’s spokesman, SP Odiko MacDon, who confirmed the incident to newsmen on Sunday, said the gunmen on Saturday night attacked the Divisional Police Headquarters in Udung Uko LGA of Akwa Ibom.
“At least three officers sustained fatal injuries, resulting from heavy gunshots as policemen on duty tried to repel the attack,” he said.
The PPRO, however, commended the officers on duty for their gallantry, noting that the situation would have been worse but for the policemen on duty who repelled the attack.
He said that the officers who sustained gunshot wounds are currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital in the state.
