Barely three days after the state Police Command headquarters and Owerri Correctional Center were attacked while 1,884 inmates released, the Mbieri Divisional Police Headquarters in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo state was on Thursday morning attacked by yet-to-be indentified gunmen.
The attack saw a police officer being kidnapped in the process.
The gunmen also released suspects in custody.
However, the policemen on duty were said to have engaged the attackers in a gun duel but they were reportedly overpowered by the gunmen who had sophisticated weapons.
A community leader, Nokey Ebikam, told newsmen that the police divisional headquarters was not burnt by the assailants but only freed the suspects in detention after vandalizing it.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed the attack on the police station but did not go into details.
More so, it was revealed that aside the officer who was abducted, two others sustained injuries in the incident which is the second major attack on a police station since an armed gang invaded the state police headquarters on Monday.
