Gunmen attack Anambra Broadcasting Service station

By our reporter| The Anambra state police command on Monday confirmed that gunmen attacked the Anambra Broadcasting Service.

The state command spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, who made the disclosure in a statement said the gunmen attacked the station early-morning.

According to him, the incident occurred at about 4:30 am at Awada in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.

Tochukwu further stated that the command was alerted of the attack at the facility and a team of operatives was swiftly deployed to engage the assailants.

“Following a distress call today 30/5/2022 at about 4:30 am of a case of arson in Anambra Broadcasting Service, Awada Station, in Idemili North Local Government Area, the police operatives responded swiftly and prevented the hoodlums from causing damage on the structure,” he said.

“Unfortunately, two operational vehicles belonging to the station were affected. No life was lost. Meanwhile, the station has been cordoned off and Operation is still ongoing in the area.”

Monday’s incident is the latest in the series of attacks carried out recently by armed men despite the amnesty offered by the government to criminals terrorising the state.

While the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been linked to most of the attacks in the state, the secessionist group has repeatedly insisted that it had no hand in the violence.
