INEC office attack: We Are Prepared For Any Attack On INEC Office – Police

Following the killing of three of the hoodlums who assaulted the Imo state INEC headquarters, located along Port Harcourt road in Owerri, early on Monday, the Imo state Police command issued a warning that the command is now out to deal ruthlessly with the hoodlums terrorizing the state.

While describing the attack’s conclusion to news reporters in Owerri, Micheal Abattam, the Imo state police public relations officer, issued this warning.

He discussed the command’s success in getting high-level intelligence and the security services’ readiness to fend off similar attacks in the state.

He said:
“See something and say something has been our slogan. They attacked the INEC office with petrol bombs. We have also recovered some of the petrol bombs they used in the attack. Because what they did was throw petrol bombs at the INEC, offices.

“The rate of damage like I said is minimal. We are on the ground. We can tell you what happened. The damage has to do with the effect of the dynamite. Dynamite goes down and the effect will go around. We have always repelled them. We are working assiduously to make sure that the election in Imo state will hold.”

“This is an eye-opener for whoever wants to come in and test our power. We are out for them and our intelligence is key,” police said.
