Policemen Flee As Hoodlums Set Station Ablaze

There was panic in Imo State on Thursday night as hoodlums razed
Aboh Mbaise Divisional Police Headquarters.

This is even as policemen on duty fled as the hoodlums carried
out the arson on the police facility.

According to sources, on arrival, the hoodlums who were carrying
inflammable objects threw them at the police formation and ignited
the environment.

The development caused panic in the area, as the policemen on
guard, suspects, and natives ran into nearby bushes.

It was gathered that all the files and documents belonging to
the police were lost in the inferno.

The source said, “This is very strange. Fleeing hoodlums have
just razed Aboh Mbaise Divisional Police headquarters. They didn’t
bother going into the compound. They just threw ignitable objects
on the Divisional headquarters and drove off few minutes after it
caught fire.

“All the policemen on duty including suspects who were being
detained ran into the nearby bushes. Locals also fled their homes
as the fire raged. We have not seen this one before.”

A police spokesperson for the state command, Orlando Ikeokwu,
confirmed the attack when contacted by our correspondent.

According to him, no policeman was lost to the incident.
