Armed men again on Tuesday attacked another police station in Imo State, freed suspects in detention and razed it down.
This happened barely 24 hours after the Imo State Correctional Centre and the State Police Headquarters were attacked on Monday with many inmates set free.
Tuesday’s incident happened a few hours after Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the outgoing Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammed Adamu had left the state.
The VP, IGP and the Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola, were in the state to inspect the level of damage on the burnt security facilities.
This time around, the gunmen attacked and burnt Ehime Mbano Local Government Area Divisional Police Headquarters.
There was still no concrete evidence to establish the identity of the gunmen carrying out the attacks, but the outgoing IGP said preliminary investigations indicated they were members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network.
Recall that MSN reported that IPOB in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, denied any involvement in the attacks.
