Gunmen Rebuff Buhari, Raze Abia Police Station

Just two days after President Muhammadu Buhari instructed a new security arrangement to check the spate of insecurity in the Southeast and South-South, unknown gunmen early on Thursday morning razed down the Bende Police Station in Abia State.

It was the second police station to be razed by the yet unknown gunmen in one week in the local government area.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the attack on Bende police station came a week after another police station in the Local Government Area, Ubani police station was similarly burnt down.

The attackers who came early in the morning according to Daily Trust burnt all the vehicles that were parked in the station before going to torch the main building.

The attack on the Abia police station came two days after President Muhammadu Buhari after a meeting with security chiefs was said to have directed a new security framework to address the spate of attacks in the Southeast and South-South.

The police station is situated at the outer gate of the LGA headquarters and less than 10 metres from the LGA field.

“We heard series of gunshots, and when we rushed outside, we saw the station on fire,” a resident said.
