Gunmen, on Wednesday, attacked a Police Station in Anaku, Ayamelum Local Government Area of Anambra State.
They were, however, repelled by Police officers on duty, causing the gunmen to flee for their safety.
The State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, who confirmed the incident said the gunmen after being successfully repelled, threw a locally made explosive into the compound, but no casualties were recorded.
He said Police in Anambra are more determined now than ever, to protect all their facilities from attacks, and also face the attackers.
He said: “The Anambra police operatives are more firm and courageous, following the successful repelling of an attack in the early hours of the day at Anaku divisional headquarters.
“The operatives stood firm and engaged the hoodlums which made them flee the scene. Also, the miscreants in a bid to escape threw bonfires inside the station and it affected three police operational vehicles.
“Meanwhile, Police reinforcement is already there, an operation is still ongoing and further details shall be communicated,” he stated.
