According to SaharaReporters, at least two police officers were feared dead after gunmen attacked the Divisional Police Headquarters of Ibiaku Ntok Opo, Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa-Ibom State, on Saturday.
A source, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said the incident occurred at 3am.
The gunmen, who were alleged to be Nnamdi Kanu's Eastern Security Network members, razed down the police station.
The source also stated that a policewoman sustained an injury in the attack while five vehicles were burnt and a flag was stolen.
