    “Our operatives in the early hours of today engaged some gunmen who attacked Ihiala police divisional headquarters and recovered one abandoned AK-47 rifle.

    The gunmen escaped the scene due to the superior fire of the police operatives although no casualty was recorded.

    Unfortunately, the explosives the gunmen threw inside the police station had already ignited fire that affected the building.” Ikenga said
