Tension As Gunmen Storm Bayelsa Police Station, Set The Building Ablaze (Photos)

A group of gunmen suspected to be cultists have attacked the Divisional headquarter of the Nigeria Police Force in Oporoma, the headquarters of the Southern Ijaw Local Government area of Bayelsa state and set the station ablaze.

The attack on the police station was carried out after a suspected cultist involved in the rescue mission of another cult member from the police station was shot dead.

Reports have it that a suspect in custody at the police station made an attempt to escape but was shot by the officer on duty. His colleagues then re-mobilised and attacked the station before setting it on fire.

According to Arch convener of a Non Governmental Organization, Patriotism Advancement and Community Orientation Network (PACON), Comrade Aluzu Ebikebuna Augustine, the incident threw the community into pandemonium.
