Armed Robers Attack Kaduna Police Station, Beat Up & Disarm ALL The Policemen!

* A gang of armed robbers out to rob a bank
yesterday, attacked Makarfi Divisional Police
Station in Kaduna State, and beat up, disarmed all
the policemen at the station.
According to one of the policeman who spoke to
reporters, but pleaded for anonymity, the robbers
numbered between 25 and 30. And would have
successfully killed all of them the policemen at the
station just if the robbers had so wished.
Telling the story of what happened at the station,
he said:
“I was just about to go in and check some
detainees when I heard gunshots. I rushed out
to be face-to-face with bandits in flowing
caftans, and some in tattered army uniforms
shooting into the air and ordering us to come
out and lie down on the road.
They then started throwing explosives into the
police station. The ground was shaking. They
later moved to the bank (about 100 metres
away) and started shooting and throwing
explosives. Some of the robbers were standing
over us, while the rest were at the bank.
I don’t know the time they all left because they
left one after the other. They may have been
there for an hour. Later, we saw a military
vehicle with soldiers and Mobile Policemen. We
told them what happened and they drove
eastwards, also shooting into the air.
As far as I know, no one was injured, though
they beat up some of us. I also heard they
could not get any money from the bank.
I want you to please tell government to give us
surveillance and communication equipment.
We are just here facing danger everyday. If the
armed robbers had wanted, they could have
killed all of us, because they had better arms,
and were more in number.”
