Robbers Attack Police Station by definatelydavid(m): 8:57am On Nov 16, 2015 |
Armed robbers on Sunday stormed the Marine Police Post of the
Lagos State Police Command in the Epe area, exchanging gunfire
with the policemen. During the attack, the robbers attempted to
steal the station’s gunboat and other ammunition.
A Punch correspondent learnt that the robbers, said to number
about 20, came in a speedboat to the Marine beach at about
12.30am.
It was gathered that policemen from the Epe division, the Rapid
Response Squad and the Counter-Terrorism Unit, were mobilised
to the scene to repel the attack.
A police source told the Punch correspondent that the robbers,
who escaped in their boat, riddled the station with bullets. The
gunboat, which they attempted to steal, sank in the water.
He said, “It was at about 12am that the militants invaded the
Marine Police Post, Epe. Their mission was to kill the policemen
and dismantle the security structures around the place so that
they could embark on a bank robbery maybe on Monday.
“The gunfire lasted for several minutes, and the whole area was
riddled with bullets. Eventually, they succeeded in sinking the
gunboat. No policeman was killed but some might have been
injured by the bullets.”
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, went to the
station on Sunday and assessed the damage.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, who confirmed
the attack, said the CP had directed that the area be electrified and
the gunboat replaced.
Offor added that the police had increased surveillance in the area
and normalcy had been restored.
“No arrests have been made so far. Efforts are on to replace the
gunboat,” he said |
