Unknown gunmen in the early hours of Monday set Uzuakoli police station in Bende local government area of Abia State on fire.

This is coming weeks after a similar incident took place in World Bank housing estate Aba when a police station was razed and property worth millions of Naira destroyed.

Recall that the state government last week alerted the public of a planned attack in parts of the state, urging vigilance.

All efforts by to reach PPRO in the state, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna for a comment proved abortive as at the moment of this report.
