On Tuesday, unidentified gunmen stormed a police checkpoint in the Anambra state’s Ihiala local government area.
Per the report shared by CorrectNG and reinforced by the Daily Post, the incident that sent police officers running from their posts, chaos erupted throughout the state. The report adds that some locals are believed to have been shot dead and that others have been hurt.
The incident was said to have taken place along the Ihiala-Uli axis in the Ihiala LGA at around 10.30 in the morning.
Security personnel working the checkpoint reportedly took off their uniforms and hid in surrounding shrubs and accessible shelters.
The expressway connecting Onitsha and Owerri had been closed. Commercial bus drivers have ceased operations along the route after the attack caused drivers and commuters to flee for their lives.
Regarding police matters, Olorunsogo Bamidele, a female officer, recently called out for justice after she was allegedly brutalized by ASP Ajayi Matthew, a senior officer. She is an Inspector working for the Ode-Omu Divisional Command and the Osun State Police command.
Inspector Bamidele displayed her damaged police uniform along with scrapes, bruises, and other physical damage in a video that has been going viral online.
Because she declined the Divisional Crime Officer’s overtures, the policewoman, who is married, accused him of sexual harassment.
