It will be recalled that on Monday, gunmen stormed
Owutu Police Station and opened fire. The fresh fact has emerged about the attack on
Owutu Police Station, Ikorodu, Lagos State on Monday, where two policemen and
motorcyclist were killed and several others injured.
A source revealed
that the vandals killed two policemen, including a commercial motorbike rider.
They also injured several people, raided the station’s armoury and freed
detainees.
They carted away four AK47 rifles. Trouble started after
members of NSCDC got information that oil thieves were operating
at Abule-Tapa Village, Ikorodu. The NSCDS arrested one of the vandals.
When other vandals went to intercept the officers to free their partner, they
found the site empty.
Apparently angry, they vented their anger on the police
station, which was along their route.
An NSCDC said: “The fight between us and the vandals
started at midnight on that fateful Monday. Two of men were shot. They are now
in hospital. Several of our men were injured. Two of our men are missing. We
believe that they are being held hostage. We pray that they are still alive. We
however killed more of the vandals. We did not get any alive. We’re already
tracking the vandals. We’ll get them!”
