Gunmen suspected to be members of the notorious Autopilot, a break away faction of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, were resisted in a botched attack launched in one of the police formations in Anambra State.
The gunmen according to reports, arrived the Ayamelum divisional police station Anaku, in the wee hours of Wednesday but were resisted by the gallant men of the force.
The fierce resistance and return of fire forced the criminal elements to scamper for safety.
While running because of the fire power of security operatives, the cowards threw some of the improvised explosive device they came with into the operational vehicles and other cars in the premises making them go up in flames.
About three vehicles were completely destroyed as a result of the fire but the building wasn’t affected.
