Gunmen in large numbers have again attacked the Awada Police Station, near Obosi in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
It was gathered that the hoodlums invaded the police facility around 2:18 am on Monday and engaged the operatives on duty where about three of the hoodlums were said to have been shot dead.
This is coming less than 24 hours after the attack on the 3-3 Police Divisional Office in Oyi LGA, where about six people were killed.
A source in the area said the hoodlums started shooting sporadically as they approached the police station, adding that the gunshots lasted for several hours.
The source said, “Again, in the early hours of today, these hoodlums made another deadly attempt to burn down Awada Police Station, near Obosi, Anambra State.
“The hoodlums were repelled by gallant security personnel with three members of the gang taken down after a hot exchange of gun battle.”
He added that two AK-47 were recovered with the vehicles used for the operation by the gang.
