Anxiety rises as miscreants torch police station and local government secretariat in Anambra.
There was heightened tension as a group of around 30 hoodlums set fire to both the Neni Police station and the headquarters of the Anaocha Local Government Area in Anambra state. The incident occurred between 3 am and 4 am on Thursday, March 28, 2024.
Reports indicate that the armed gang also abducted some police officers, including female personnel, from the police station. Although the attackers used Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), they were ultimately repelled by the police operatives, who engaged them with superior firepower, forcing them to retreat. #naijaeyesblog
