Unrest in Imo as police allegedly kill two siblings

An angry mob on Tuesday set a Nigerian Police Force station ablaze in Ihitte/Uboma, Imo State.

Trouble started after policemen allegedly killed two siblings in the community.

Although information about police brutality is still scarce, footage on social media showed the burning police station.

Imo State police spokesman, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed the incident to The Guardian. Ikeokwu shunned further questioning as he said he would be “sending out a press statement soon.” (The Guardian)
