A cop (name not given) reportedly sustained multiple bullet wounds following bandits’ attack on Aguobu Owa Police Station in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State on Friday.

The attackers, who stormed the station at about 9am in a black Toyota car, were said to have been repelled by officers and men on duty who mounted stiff resistance.

However, a police officer reportedly sustained a bullet wound in the gun duel. Checks showed that the victim is currently receiving treatment in a hospital.

A police source disclosed that some of the attackers escaped with bullet wounds.

The Public Relations Officer of the Enugu Police Command, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, said, “Full-scale investigation has commenced to fish out the yet-to-be identified hoodlums who operated in a black-coloured Corolla car.

“They attempted to attack Ezeagu Police Division in the morning hours of today (Friday) but were resisted by Police operatives on duty.

“One policeman, who sustained gunshot injury, was rushed to the hospital and is responding to treatment. Further development will be communicated.”
