Ido Division of the Ekiti State police command came under attack by yet to be identified gunmen in the night of Friday and killed a police Inspector on duty and looted the armoury of the police station.

A police inspector on duty was reportedly killed on Friday as suspected gunmen numbering about 40 raided Ido-Ekiti Divisional Police Station in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti state.

According to Nigerian Trubune, the armoury of the police station was also reportedly emptied by the attackers who blew off the roof top of the station allegedly with dynamite. The entire police station, including the ceilings was destroyed during the raid.

A detective attached to the station, who craved anonymity, revealed that the suspected gunmen invaded the police station around 7.20pm yesterday and ransacked all rooms in the station.

The source added that some of the gunmen drove into the station while others scaled the fence and headed for the station’s armoury, as few policemen were on duty at the time of the raid.

The source said the heavily armed gunmen rained bullets on the police inspector who died on the spot.

The police source said: “They drove in recklessly through the gate. Some of them had scaled the fence and took over the entire police station. Some of them even scaled the fence and took strategic positions around the station, shot into the air sporadically and destroyed virtually every room and office. They had gone straight to the police station and the armoury.

“They looted the armoury, took everything there and left it empty. Our suspicion was that they came only to loot the armoury because that was why they first attacked and demobilised our men. In fact, they emptied the entire place.”

Asked if some suspects of dangerous crime were being detained at the station, which could be the reason for the attack, the source said “if that was the motive, then they should have attacked the cells; they didn’t attack the cells.”

The source said the policemen on guard during the raid were overpowered because the attackers were fierce, according to him, “they rained bullets on the police inspector and he was said to have died on the spot.”

A correspondent contacted the Police Public Relations Officer of the state command, Alberto Adeyemi for police reaction on the incident but he was unreachable via his mobile phones
