Gunmen yesterday killed four policemen, including a female officer at Atani police station in Ogbaru Local Council of Anambra State.
  
The Guardian gathered that the hoodlums arrived at the police station and immediately launched an attack on the facility.
  
A source said the gunmen came to the police station with three Hilux vehicles and a Sienna bus at about 1:30a.m, adding that four policemen, including a female police operative, lost their lives during the attack.
  
Meanwhile, the state police command has confirmed the attack, adding that security operatives successfully repelled the hoodlums who ran away.
  
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Toochukwu Ikenga, said the hoodlums came around 1:00 a.m.
   
He said the Commissioner of Police (CP) Echeng Echeng on hearing of the attack, immediately mobilised men of the command from various units to the area.
 
“The hoodlums were still there when the CP personally led men of the command to the affected area, and the timely arrival saved the day and the hoodlums were successfully repelled.
 
“CP Echeng had already ordered a discreet investigation to unravel the identities of the attackers, ensuring that they were rounded up to face the full wrath of the law for their acts of callousness,” he added.
