ShareTweetShareShare

Gunmen again have attacked Mgbidi Divisional Police Headquarters in Imo State leaving an police Inspector dead with another cop sustaining injuries.

The attack which happened on Friday night caused panic in the area as the hoodlums came in a vehicle and police operatives engaged them in a gun duel.

we gathered that on arrival, the invaders opened fire but they were repelled by the policemen on duty. A source, who pleaded not to be mentioned, said “One police Inspector was killed during the attack. The hoodlums arrived around 9 pm on Friday but met stiff opposition from policemen who engaged them in a shootout. Unfortunately, a police officer died.

Confirming the development on Saturday, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Micheal Abattam, said that the attackers were repelled by cops on duty. He, however, disclosed that one inspector was killed while another sustained minor injury during the attack.

Abattam said, “On 14th January 2022 at about 20:45 hours, the Command’s Tactical teams at Mgbidi Police Station repelled an attack by some hoodlums who came in a white hilux vehicle shooting sporadically, attempted to gain entrance into the station but were repelled by the ever gallant Imo Command’s Tactical teams and the police operatives of the division who positioned themselves professionally.

“They engaged the hoodlums in a gun duel. In the process, the attackers were suppressed almost immediately, having suffered a huge defeat, with a number of them sustaining various degrees of bullet wounds, they retreated and escaped in the Toyota Hilux vehicle they came with. And were given a hot chase by the police operatives.

“Consequently, a vigorous and aggressive manhunt of the hoodlums is ongoing with the sole aim of tracking and arresting the fleeing hoodlums since they cannot go far because of the huge damage done to them.

“However, in the course of the attack, a police Inspector lost his life, while another sustained minor bullet injury on his hand.

“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police CP Rabiu Hussaini, commended the officers and men for their gallantry and urged them not to relent in their efforts until all criminal elements and their partners are apprehended and made to face the full wrath of the law.
