Bad guys getting daring these days. Armed
men, suspected to be cultists, attacked a
police station in Akoko-Edo area of Edo State
and freed two of their colleagues in detention.
It was learnt that the attackers gained access
to the police station located in Ibillo after
disguising as relatives of their colleagues on
February 2, 2017.
They were said to have shot sporadically,
killing a woman in the process.
The attackers were said to have successfully
freed their colleagues and escaped.
Confirming the report, State Commissioner of
Police, Haliru Gwandu, said that the freed
suspects had been arrested for alleged r*pe.
He said, “Two r*pists were arrested at Ibillo
and unknown to the police, the suspects were
cultists. Their members went to the police
station.
“But the police did not know they were there
to rescue their members. There was sporadic
shooting and an innocent lady was hit and
killed.”
Gwandu, who spoke while briefing journalists
on Friday, disclosed that some of the attackers
were later arrested on February 8.
More policemen had been deployed in the
affected police station to prevent a recurrence.
“Police are still mopping up the area. The area
is a border town, we have the influx of
misguided elements,” the CP added.
