Three hoodlums have been feared killed in gunfire with the police in an attack at the Awada Police Station, near Obosi in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, South East, Nigeria.
Hoodlums in their numbers were said to have stormed the Police Station at about 2.18am on Monday and opened fire while operatives on duty engaged them in a ferocious manner leading to the gunning down of three of the criminals on the spot.
The attack was the second in less than 24 hours after that of the 3-3 Police Divisional Office in Oyi LGA in Anambra State, which led to the killing of a Police officer and five gunmen.
The exchange of gunfire between the attackers and operatives in the Oyi attack was said to have lasted for several hours.
“Again, in the early hours of today, these hoodlums made another deadly attempt to burn down Awada Police Station, near Obosi, Anambra State.
“The hoodlums were repelled by gallant security personnel with three members of the gang taken down after a hot exchange of gun battle”, the source said.
