Imo Police Command says it repelled an attack on the building of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) located in Orlu LGA in Imo by the suspected of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The command further disclosed that the hoodlums, who attacked the INEC facility, later retreated with bullet wounds after they suffered a huge defeat from the tactical team of the command.

Police Public Relations Officer CSP Mike Abatam disclosed the foiled attack in a statement signed on behalf of Mohammed Barde on Thursday.

He said minimal damage was sustained as a result of the explosive device the hoodlums used to attack the office.

“On 02/12/ 2022 at about 04:30 hours, gunmen suspected to be of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) came in their numbers to the Independent National Electoral Commission office Orlu in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.

They threw Improvised Explosive Devices( IEDs) into the office from outside the fence and shot sporadically, fighting their way into the office but were repelled by the ever gallant Imo Police Command’s Tactical Teams.

The police operatives who positioned themselves strategically and professionally, engaged the hoodlums in a gun duel and in the process, they were suppressed, having suffered a huge defeat, with a number of them sustaining various bullet wounds, they retreated.

“In the course of the foiled attack, no life was lost and no arms or ammunition was carted away.

“The INEC main building was not affected by the explosives only minor damage was done on the security post affected by the fire from the explosives which were put off immediately by the police operatives.

“Meanwhile, Investigation is ongoing and efforts are on top gear to arrest the fleeing suspects since they cannot go far because of the volume of blood stains that were seen on the ground after their escape.

He said the commended the officers and men for their gallantry and urged them not to relent in their efforts until all criminal elements and their partners were apprehended and made to face the full wrath of the law.

The also appealed to the general public for their continuous and collaboration by giving security agencies, especially the Police, credible and timely information about the activities of hoodlums.

Ipob terrorists are cowards, build good defenses, mount artillery weapon, kill all ipob terrorists. Get helicopter gunships as back up, spray, pursue and kill them all. Drop big bombs and blow up their hideouts.

Thieftinubu sponsor the attack.

'They couldn't pay down payment for a roasted corn coroner is very desperate to be call PRESIDENT'.



I FELT MAD AND STUPID WHEN SOMEONE SAY... 'SHOULD IGNORE THIEFTINUBU GAFFES THAT THEY ARE MINORS'. That was the same way we took serious issue as MINORS in 2015 and today we are minor in Africa.

Please God, if this is the only miracle you will do for us next year... "Please bring down thieftinubu".

God bless d unknown gunmen. No election in our beautiful Biafra Land. It's either Biafra or Biafra come 2023. And we must achieve that by all means. Obi should go and rest cos we Biafrans have resolved never to allow any election hold in our land from now onwards. Allow us go or no peace in d zoo

I don't understand - the first report stated that they set the building ablaze and abducted some workers while Police told us they didn't succeed because they repelled the attack. Which one to take?

I wish to condemn this attack in INEC Orlu in all sincerity. I am from a town very close to Orlu. Orlu, a very bubbling town. When we go home for Christmas, it's in Orlu town that we go and and hangout till 10pm to 12am before going home.
When I ed Orlu last year, it was looking like a war zone. the LGA Secretariat burnt down, millitary and police vehicles burnt and littering around the burnt secretariat. About 4 millitary checkpoints in a town that doesn't require any.
And now this. Horrible.
