At least a policeman was killed when gunmen attacked Inyi Divisional Police Headquarters in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State in the wee hours of Sunday.
The station was set ablaze while the attackers reportedly broke into the armoury and carted away guns and ammunition.
In a video of the attack, two corpses were seen in front of the station.
In a social media post, residents were warned to be security conscious.
“Warning! Achi, Inyi, Ojiriver, Ufuma, Umunze, Ajari, Arondiizogu, those axes are facing security challenges, Ngwo Iri sons & daughters, lets always be security cautious and avoid night movement, above all, always commit our going out & coming in into the blood of Almighty Jesus Christ, the saviour,” the post read.
There has been a rise in insecurity in the South East, with concern by stakeholders that insecurity could affect the 2023 elections.
The police have blamed attacks on the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN), its armed wing, but the group has always distanced itself from the attack.
On Saturday, IPOB stated that it has no intention of disrupting election in Igboland in 2023.
