The police divisional headquarters in Nneni, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State has been set ablaze by some yet-to-be-identified persons.

The section of the facility was razed in the early hours of Thursday after the assailants threw explosive devices in it.

A local, who is familiar with the matter, said the hoodlums stormed the facility to set free some inmates held there but their mission was thwarted by the police officers on duty who foiled the attack.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the attack but added that no life was lost.

In Nneni, no life was lost. No policeman was whisked away, and no armed was taken away. Instead, the hoodlums threw IEDs into the police facility, which torched part of the building.

Our operatives gallantly resisted the attackers, which made them flee. Operations are still ongoing, and further developments shall be communicated, Ikenga said
