The people of Ogbu in Awka on Monday 25th March 2024, woke up to another sad news of the sacking of a police station in Anambra town and the killing the two police officers on duty. 

According to information available to us form a concerned citizen,  the Ogbu Police station was attacked by yet-to-be-identified gunmen around 2 am on this fateful day, and upon arrival of the invaders,  the officers on duty engaged them in a prolonged gunfight to defend the station and possibly repel the determined attackers 

Unfortunately,  the two officers were overpowered when they ran out of bullets without backup from colleagues or any kind of reinforcement.  They were killed in the process because of a lack of proper equipment to do their work of protecting the people. They paid the ultimate price.

One of the Victims, a determined and fearless Mobile Police Officer by the name of Nathaniel from Ohafia and his yet-to-be-identified Colleague are not the kind of officers to give in to fear if they were equipped by the authorities to perform their duties of protecting the citizenry. This is a cause for concern that our force men and and women will continue to lose their lives needlessly because they lack the proper equipment to face the times we live in. 

Every effort made to get the comments or reaction from the DPO or PRO has proved abortive as none of them has replied to messages sent to them and not picked up their calls at the time of filing this report.
