Unknown gunmen on Saturday night injured three police officers during an attack on the divisional police headquarters in Udung Uko local government area of Akwa Ibom State.
Eyewitnesses told journalists on Sunday the gunmen stormed the police station in a Toyota Sienna car and opened fire on police officers on duty.
The attack is the fourth on Akwa Ibom police facilities in the last two months.

He, however, said no life was lost in the incident.
