Unknown gunmen attack Enugu police station, kill officers

Unknown gunmen have reportedly attacked a police station in Enugu State early Wednesday morning.

The armed men attacked Adani divisional police headquarters in Uzo-Uwani Local government area of the state.

Two police officers who attempted to repel the attack were killed in the process.

Daniel Ndukwe, spokesman for the police in Enugu, was not reachable for comments.

Meanwhile, Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, who condemned the attack, said it was shameful.

“The attack on an Enugu police station and murder of two policemen by unknown gunmen is shameful, shocking – I condemn it,” the former minister wrote on Twitter. “Enugu is a peaceful State with a God-fearing and God-sent leader and it is a tragedy that anyone would want to turn it into a theater of war or haven for crime.”
