Unknown gunmen yesterday unleashed heavy attack on Adogo Police Station,
in the Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi State, from different directions
of Okene, Ajaokuta, and one other route, apparently desirous of carting away
Police arms. The Policemen on duty, swiftly took positions and returned fire.
The heavy dynamite launched by the attackers, demolished and set fire on part
of the Station.
The desire of the hoodlums to
cart away arms, was aborted, as the Police successfully evacuated the arms from
the Station, to safety. As at the time of this report, no human casualty was
recorded on the part of Police, while some of hoodlums, escaped with bullet
wounds. However, the area has been reinforced while frantic efforts are ongoing
to track-down the fleeing hoodlums.
Meanwhile, the State Police Command is
appealing to members of the public, to report anybody seen with bullet wound,
of any sort, to the nearby Police Station or other Security agencies, please.
