Unknown gunmen have attacked the Isi-Uzo Divisional police station in Ikem in Enugu state.
According to a report by The Nation newspaper, the criminals also carted away with the police arms and ammunition.
The attack was said to have occurred in the early hours of Tuesday.
The criminals were said to have stormed the unfenced police station at about 2 am on Tuesday with a Toyota Sienna vehicle, shouting, “Release Nnamdi Kanu,” “No Nnamdi Kanu, no peace”.
“They came through Eha-Amufu and left through the same axis, but it’s not possible they got to Eha-Amufu township or crossed to Nkalagu; otherwise, they would have been encountered by the soldiers in that area.
“It’s possible they went through Aguamede to Benue state,” a source said.
It was further reported that a policeman on night duty at the police station was shot but was not killed.
The divisional police station was in the past under severe attacks by armed robbers who terrorised banks at Ikem and Eha-Amufu, resulting in the closure of banks in the area for over ten years now.
The Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, failed to pick up calls or answer messages sent to him for his reaction to the incident.
Why is it difficult for Nigeria government to release Nnamdi Kanu from unlawful detention, Kanu had a genuine cause of agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra because of the continual marginalization of the southeast region in Nigeria, he carried out his agitation peacefully until the nigerian army invaded his home killing scores of people, Let them release him, But the more the igbos are shouting and demanding for his release the more some non Igbo elements particularly from the north and from southwest region are asking for his continual detention, until recently when that rascal Asari Dokubo from south south became bold enough to also ask for his continual detention because he believe that is what these people from non igbo states want to hear, The best is to release Nnamdi Kanu from detention so there can be peace in Igbo lands
