Hoodlums have razed down another police station in Izombe in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.
Sources said at least two police officers were killed during the attack while four of the hoodlums were killed.
This comes barely 24 hours after gunmen razed down the Atta police station in Njaba Local Government Area of the state.
The police spokesman in the state, Bala Elkana, said the latest incident took place between 7 pm and 10 pm on Saturday.
Bala said: “The hoodlums in their number launched an offensive on Izombe Police Station but were repelled by the gallant policemen on duty.
“Four hoodlums were neutralised during the attack while others escaped with bullet wounds” but refused to comment on the casualties on the police.
He said that a mop-up operation is ongoing with a view of arresting other fleeing members of the gang.
