Imo Police Command said its staff killed three gunmen who attacked the Independent National Electoral Commission office in Owerri early Monday morning.
Two others were arrested, said the command's spokesman Mike Abbatam.
Mr. Abbatam added that incendiary bombs, AK-47 rifles, pump-action and three vehicles were seized from the attackers.
“It was a foiled attempt as our gallant men neutralised three of the attackers and arrested two of them. Several of them escaped with bullet injuries, and as I speak to you, we are still combing the bushes through which they escaped.”
“We recovered six guns: three AK-47 rifles, three pump-action guns, three IEDs, four petrol bombs, among other ammunition,”
