Gunmen in Toyota Sienna and motorbikes, on Sunday, attacked the Anambra State Vigilante office at Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area as well as Ozubulu Police Station.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ikenga Tochukwu, who confirmed the attack, said policemen repelled the attack at their office, adding that the confrontation at the vigilante office was carried out around 7.00 pm on Sunday.
He said: “The hoodlums who came with a Toyota Sienna vehicle and motorcycles started shooting sporadically.
“Unfortunately, two yet unidentified persons sustained gunshot injury.”
According to him, no police officer sustained any injury during the attack on the police station, noting that the police building is secure and safe.
“Meanwhile the hoodlums in a bid to escape set ablaze a Toyota Corolla parked not far from the station. An investigation is ongoing and efforts are in top gear to arrest the perpetrators of the ugly act. However, normalcy has been restored in the area,” he said.
Recall that last week, two police officers were killed during an attack on Obosi Police station, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
