Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen on Monday morning reportedly struck the headquarters of Abia State police in Umuahia, the state capital.
It was gathered that one person was killed during the attack, Sahara reports.
A source who lives close to the station told the media outlet that gunshots were heard in the early hours of Monday.
“Around 1 am, we could hear gunshots. Initially, we thought the policemen at the station were the ones shooting because sometimes they shoot to scare potential assailants.
“By daybreak, we heard it was an attack and that a policeman was killed,” the source said.
The spokesperson for the Abia State Police Command, Geoffrey Ogbonna, could not be reached on his mobile line as he did not answer calls to his phone nor reply to the text sent to him.
