At present, the wave of insecurity across the country is turning into a gravely disturbing twist with an unprecedented sequence of orchestrated attacks and killing of police officers and burning down of their stations, especially in the South Eastern states of the nation. No day passes without a report of policemen being killed in one community and police station being razed in at least one community in the South Eastern flank of Nigeria. It has now become a daily occurrence and police officers have been at the mercy of these men branded as unknown gunmen. For these past months, the Eastern states of Imo, Anambra and others have been literarily torn apart by bandits who have reportedly raided police stations, killed officers and burnt down police divisions.
Police operatives in ASABA A division have arrested one Mr Sunday Asika who hails from imo state but lives at infant Jesus region of ASABA Delta state for allegedly stabbing one miss Omelagu Chidinma a 15 year old girl on the neck with a bottle for rejecting his sexual advances.The attack may not be unconnected to her alleged rejection of sexual advances.
