ATTACK ON UMUNZE POLICE STATION: JOINT SECURITY FORCES RECOVER FIVE UNEXPLODED IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVES, AS THE MANHUNT FOR THE ARSONIST AND CLEARANCE OPERATION ON IDENTIFIED CRIMINAL CAMP IN THE AREA ARE STILL ONGOING
The Joint Security Forces comprising of the Police, Army, Navy, Civil defence and other Security Agencies recover five unexploded improvised explosives and are on the trail of arsonist and armed successionist group members, who in the early hours of today 16/9/2024 attacked the Umunze Police Station.
The suspected Armed Proscribe Group invaded the Police Facility with improvised explosives, shooting sporadically and fire caught part of the Station. Unfortunately, two of the Police Operatives on duty during the gun battle in a bid to resist the assailants from causing more havoc, paid the supreme price. Their bodies have been recovered and taken to the morgue.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police *CP Nnaghe Obono Itam* visited the scene, on a spot assessment to reinforce and reassess security deployment, calls on anyone who has any information that will aid the investigation to come forward. He also assures utmost confidentiality to any such information in this regard, please.
