Neni police station Anambra State attacked by Unknown gunmen, Set buildings ablaze
However, less than twelve hours after the visit of the state by the governor, unknown hoodlums went and burnt the three police stations in the area. Amichi, Ezinifite and Osumenyi, respectively have common boundaries with Orsu and Orlu in Imo State as well as with Ukpor, Azia, Orsumoghu, Mbosi and Isekke where activities of unknown gunmen were pronounced.
Indigenes of Nnewi South, who spoke with Vanguard on Thursday following the killing of a security guard at Ukpor, had cautioned government officials against inflammatory comments that could trigger crisis.
The indigene, including Joseph Anorue, Bede Njoku, and Okechukwu Agim, who respectively spoke to Saturday Vanguard, alleged that the destruction of the police stations may have been the hoodlums’ response to the promise made by the state government to equip the police in the area.
According to one of the indigene, “the governor promised to equip the police in Nnewi South to fight hoodlums, but less than twelve hours after the visit and promise, three police stations in the council area were burnt, what a response to a promise by the government.”
