The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Anthony Ogbizi, confirmed the attack. He said some policemen acting on a tip-off, had raided the Ahiaukwu Olokoro area and arrested four suspected drug dealers and armed robbers. After the arrest, while officers in the post were about to transfer the suspects to the police division at Ubakala, hoodlums attacked them and aided in the escape of two of the suspects earlier detained. The hoodlums then returned to the police station and set the building on fire.
