The attack took place in the early hours of Thursday. It was gathered that the attackers were shouting “DPO must go; he has overstayed; he has been in Anaocha for over 15 years.”

Although a source said the gangsters also whisked away some police operatives, including some female police personnel, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Tochukwu Ikenga said no police personnel was taken away.
