Heavily armed gunmen in the early hours of Monday attacked Uzuakoli Police Station in the Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, setting the station on fire.
It is not yet clear if policemen were shot dead or injured during the attack, which occurred about 4am, according to nearby residents.
Due to the incessant attacks on security agencies and their facilities, the state government had imposed curfew on four volatile towns which are Aba, Umuahia, Ohafia and Arochukwu.
It was gathered that the gunmen still continued the onslaughts on police stations by sacking the Uzuakoli Police Station.
The state government itself, despite the curfew, had last week alerted residents of a planned attack in parts of the state by militants and urged all to be vigilant.
