The residents set the police station and barracks in the town ablaze to protest the escape of two alleged armed robbers who attacked a bullion van Tuesday and killed one person.
About 30 police officers at the station and the
barracks who were overpowered by the residents are reportedly fleeing
for their lives.
The fleeing officers were said to have fired the shots to scare the angry residents .
“All the youth are fighting with the Police now. They
[Police] had to ran away because they have no tear-gas to use in
dispersing the crowd which is stoning the officers,” Adom News’ Maxwell
Kudekor reported.
