According to the Centre for Wounded Servicemen and Fallen Heroes Supports Fund (CFWS&FHSF), the attack on an Enugu police station by unidentified gunmen on Sunday was brutal and heinous.

In a statement released on Monday in Abuja in response to the event, which took place at the Inyi police station in the Oji River Area Council of Enugu, retired general Cecil Esekhaigbe, chairman of the centre's board of trustees, said thus.

He said that the attack, which resulted in the deaths of two civilians, at least one police officer who was on duty, and the police station, was uncalled for.

He, however, advised security operatives in the country not to be discouraged by such acts but to keep putting in their best in securing the life and property of Nigerians, adding that better days are ahead.

Esekhaigbe called on members of the community and its traditional ruler to ensure that the perpetrators of the act were fished out for prosecution to serve as detterant to others.

“We believe the perpetrators of this barbaric and extremely cruel act are within the community, everything should be done to fish them out by members of the community and the traditional ruler.

“They could not be far away from the people because we believe they leave in the community,” he said.

Esekhaigbe, however, commended the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, for the release of the 23 remaining abducted Abuja-Kaduna train victims.

He lauded the Federal Government and the military authority for fulfilling the earlier promise to rescue the abductees, adding that the military deserved to be commended by all.
