Attack: 7 INEC vehicles, 50 generating sets, others burnt
On 8 riffles, ammunition recovered, as attackers abandon 3 Hilux vans
By Vincent Ujumadu, Awka
SEVEN vehicles, 50 generating sets and other equipment belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were burnt when hoodlums attacked the Anambra State headquarters of the electoral umpire on Sunday night.
The attackers, who first fired shots at the B Division of the Nigeria Police Force close to the INEC office before heading to the office, abandoned three Hilux vans when they could not match the firepower of the police.
Eight riffles, consisting of AK 47 and pump-action, as well as live ammunition and items of clothing and berets, were recovered from the attackers.

Since February when the first attack on police men commenced, rather than abate, there have been increasing cases of such attacks, in all the South eastern states, and this has spiralled into the South South, with states like Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Cross River getting its own share of the ugly incident.
What began as attacks on policemen on checkpoints in remote areas of states in the South East zone has further moved to taking battles right to the stations of policemen, killing them and burning down facilities, and most worrisome is that it is now happening in urban areas, some of the places deem to be the most protected.
