Physinews: Ado Ekiti-There was pandemonium on Friday
night at Ido-Ekiti, Ido-Osi Local Government
Area of Ekiti State in Nigeria, when some suspected
gunmen numbering 40, invaded the Divisional
Police Headquarters located in the town and
killed a police inspector on duty during the
attack.
The armoury of the police station was emptied
by the evil doers ,while the roof top was blown
off with the aid of dynamite and the entire
police station , including the asbestos were
destroyed during the raid.
A detective attached to the station , who craved
anonymity ,revealed that the suspected robbers
invaded the police station around
7.20pm and destroyed virtually everywhere
while ransacking all rooms while all the doors
were broken in the course of searching
for ammunition .
The incident had rendered the police officers
attached to the station devastated, as their
countenances portrayed that they were in deep
mourning.
The source added that the robbers had drove in
recklessly through the gate while some had
scaled the fence and headed into the main
building where the armoury was located.
He said few policemen were on guard during
the raid, which he said made the attack to be
more successful and fierce .
Upon entering the station, the source said the
heavily armed bandits rained bullets on the
police inspector and he was said to have died
on the spot.
“They drove in recklessly and took over the
entire police station. Some even scaled the
fence and took strategic positions. They shot
into the air sporadically and destroyed virtually
every room.
“Our suspicion was that they case to loot the
armoury because that was why they first
attacked after demobilizing our men. In fact,
they emptied the entire place”.
When asked whether they came to free a high
profile detainee or robbery suspected, the police
officer said: “That is not true because nobody
was detained in the cell as at the time they
incident took place”, he added .
Efforts made to reach out to the Police Public
Relations Officer ofthe state Command, Mr
Alberto Adeyemi were unsuccessful, as all his
mobile phone sets were switched.
But a police officer confirmed that the PPRO
had visited the station to get first hand
information about the incident.
