Attackers burn down DSS office in Nnewi — report
Armed attackers on Sunday set alight the police and Department of State Services field offices in Nnewi, Anambra state. the Peoples Gazette is reporting.
The incident occurred at about 1:00 p.m. when hoodlums stormed the offices, overpowered personnel and torched “everywhere,” a witness reportedly said.
“The attackers said they don’t want to see any Nigerian flag standing in the area,” a witness said.
Figures as to death and injuries could not be immediately ascertained as the police and the DSS were yet to comment on the matter as of the time of publishing this report.
The attack marked yet another escalation of hostilities raging over separatist agitations across the region, as well as attacks by armed herders, cultists and other violent criminals.
