Eyewitnesses report that the assailants arrived in large numbers, opening fire on the council headquarters. Fortunately, no lives were lost in the incident.
State Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the attack, stating that security operatives successfully resisted the gunmen, but not before some properties were destroyed and a joint security operation is currently underway in the area.

While the identity of the attackers remains unknown, there is speculation that secessionist groups may be responsible.
