On Sunday, officers attached to a police station in Umokpa, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, Enugu State, abandoned a station after it came under heavy gunfire from yet-to-be-identified gunmen in the evening of Saturday.

A video obtained from eyewitnesses shows police vehicles damaged, their windows broken and the station deserted as people gain entry.
