Reports indicate that gunmen on Saturday set the Isiala Mbano Police Divisional Headquarters in Umuelemai, Imo State, ablaze.
It was gathered that the gunmen freed suspects held in the detention facility, and carted away ammunition, before setting the building ablaze.
Sources say the gunmen did not flee but stayed until the police facility was completely burnt.
This is the fourth police divisional headquarters that had been attacked since February after Obowo, Aboh Mbaise and Ihitte/Uboma divisions were attacked, respectively.
From January till date, at least 19 police officers have been targeted and killed by hoodlums in the Southern part of the country.
