Those behind the attacks on security agencies appeared relentless, as some hoodlums on Sunday morning attacked a divisional police headquarters in Abia State, Nigeria’s South-east.

The attack, reported by Channels Television, was carried out at about 9.45 a.m. at the facility located at the Trademore Estate in Umuahia, the state capital.

No life was lost in the attack, the report said.

A police officer, injured in the attack, has been taken to the hospital, according to the report.

Channels Television quoted the police spokesperson in Abia State, Geoffrey Ogbonna, as saying that the hoodlums set ablaze documents in the office and destroyed patrol vehicles and motorcycles.

Ogbonna said the hoodlums drove to the station in a bus, three Toyota Sienna van, and two motorcycles.

The police spokesperson appealed to members of the public to volunteer to police information that could lead to the arrest of those behind the attack.
