Edo police station attack: Security beefed up in Afuze
Soldiers and other security operatives including anti-riot mobile policemen, officials of the Directorate of the State Service and National Security and Civil Defence Corps were drafted to Afuze as back up security in the area.
Details of how they were killed have emerged as it was gathered that the gunmen asked them to remove their uniforms before killing them.According to the source, “We thought everybody escaped until a policeman forced a locked door open and we saw their dead bodies.” Another source said the casualties would have been higher if the explosives thrown at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission had exploded.
At the residence of one of the victims, Inspector Sadoh, his children were seen setting up condolence register even as they demand justice for their father.Pastor Louis said their father worked hard to cater for them since their mother died four years ago.“My father loved Justice. He has unearthed many case. The Police should also find his killers and prosecute them.”
