The Police Sunday foiled an attack by hoodlums on Njaba Local Government Area Divisional Police headquarters, Umuakah in Imo State.
The Imo Police Command spokesman, ASP Henry Okoye, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, saying three of the hoodlums were neutralised.
Okoye said the attackers had arrived in three Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and launched a violent assault on the headquarters with sporadic gunfire.
“In response, the ever gallant operatives swiftly took up defensive positions and engaged the assailants, resulting in the neutralisation of three attackers.
“The remaining assailants, who sustained various gunshot injuries, fled into nearby bushes.
“During the operation, our forces recovered one General Purpose Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, and three vehicles: a Toyota Lexus 470, a Mercedes GLK, and a Toyota Venza,” the spokesman said.
He added that an intense operation, led by the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, Mr Aboki Danjuma, is currently underway to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
