Police repel attack on Njaba divisional headquarters, neutralize three suspected terrorists

The Imo state police command has neutralised three suspected terrorists after a failed attempt to attack the Njaba divisional police station on Sunday, September 15. 

In a statement released, the spokesperson of the command, ASP Henry Okoye, says the police operatives successfully repelled the attack on the Njaba Divisional Headquarters by hoodlums who arrived in three SUVs and launched a violent assault on the headquarters with sporadic gunfire.

Okoye said in response to the attack, its ever-gallant operatives swiftly took up defensive positions and engaged the assailants, resulting in the neutralization of three attackers. He said the remaining assailants, who sustained various gunshot injuries, fled into nearby bushes. During the operation, Okoye added that its forces recovered one General Purpose Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, and three vehicles: a Toyota Lexus 470, a Mercedes GLK, and a Toyota Venza.
