The Anaocha divisional police Headquarters according to residents of the area has become so notorious for inhuman treatment and extra judicial conducts. They were alleged to be good at arresting citizens for a sport without any reason other than for money.

confirmed the incident.

He said that though the hoodlums attacked the police station with IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices), he said they didnt take away any arms, or whisk away any police personnel.

But that the gallant officers on duty successfully repelled them and forced them to flee.
