Gunmen raze Atta police station, high court in Imo


Attah Magistrate Court and Health Centre building razed by gunmen in Imo State on Saturday
Gunmen on Saturday went berserk by razing Atta Divisional Police Headquarters in the Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State.
The thugs equally razed the Atta Magistrate and High Court and vandalized the community’s health centre.
The development had caused serious panic in the area, as the youths of the community nearly lynched The PUNCH correspondent who visited the area on Saturday morning.
His gadgets were sized, damaged and money extorted from him.
The razing of the building took place between 1 and 2am.
Community sources told our correspondent that the invaders shot repeatedly for close to an hour before torching the government facilities in the community.

Rock bottom looks different for everybody.
For Rex Chapman it was being arrested, thrown in jail and forced to share a cell with a naked man who kept masturbating despite his arrival.
A high school and college basketball star from America's south who went on to forge a successful NBA career, Chapman still finds his fall from grace tough to talk about.
The No 8 overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft enjoyed stints at Charlotte, Washington, Miami and Phoenix, but as it sometimes does for professional athletes, everything came tumbling down when basketball was no longer around to hold him up.

The 63-year-old veteran host will front the upcoming 19th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show before ending the series in 2022.

She said her reasoning for quitting was because it was "just not a challenge anymore".

Swim Rotorua head coach Aidan Withington said most of the team were younger and were competing for the first time at a national event.
"This was a great experience for the team," he said.

A Dunedin student who went to retrieve his stolen cellphone found the burglar who had raided his flat was less than apologetic.
Teremoana Taokia, 52, argued with the 20-year-old victim then gave him the phone back, after urinating on it.
He came before the Dunedin District Court yesterday after admitting three burglaries, all of which occurred during a drunken spree in the city's student sector on January 17.
His co-defendant Wayne Bennett, 39, pleaded guilty to two of the break-ins.
