Gunmen attack Abia police station
Unknown gunmen stormed the Nkporo Divisional Police Headquarters in the Ohafia local government area of Abia State, Nigeria, breaking into the division's armoury and making away with an AK-47 rifle loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition, two riot guns, and an unknown amount of ammunition. Additionally, the attackers stole sets of service uniforms and other police officers' personal effects. Two police officers on duty were injured and taken to the hospital.

According to sources, the gunmen drove three Toyota Siennas to the police station and took advantage of the fact that most police officers were busy with the elections, attacking the station, which they may have thought was an easy target due to its location.

In response to the incident, Abia police spokesman Geoffrey Ogbonna stated that "investigation has commenced with a view to recovering the stolen arms and ammunition as well as arresting the culprits." He also noted that the prompt collaborative effort of the police and military resulted in the recovery of one Toyota Sienna van and some service uniforms, shoes, and personal effects taken away from the policemen.
