Gunmen Blow Up Police Station in Kogi!

Police authorities have disclosed that at about 9 pm on Sunday, unknown gunmen unleashed  a heavy attack on Adogo Police Station, in the Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi State, from different directions of Okene, Ajaokuta, and one other route, apparently desirous of carting away Police arms.
The Policemen on duty, swiftly took positions and returned fire. The heavy dynamite launched by the attackers, demolished and set fire on part of the station.

The desire of the hoodlums to cart away arms, was aborted, as the Police successfully evacuated the arms from the station, to safety. According to the Force PRO of the Nigerian Police, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu, no human casualty has been recorded on the part of the Police Force. He however stated that some of the hoodlums, escaped with bullet wounds.

The area has been reinforced while frantic efforts are ongoing to track-down the fleeing hoodlums. Meanwhile, the Kogi State Police Command has appealed to members of the public, to report anybody seen with bullet wound, of any sort, to any nearby Police Station or other Security agencies. 

It is yet to be determined whether the attack is in any way related to the clampdown on terrorists operating in the North Eastern part of the country. 

The Boko Haram terrorist group is believed to have an active cell in Kogi State.
