Report says irate youths have burnt down Igboukwu Police Station in Aguata local government area of Anambra state.
According to the report, this followed the shooting of a motorcycle rider by police in the area.
It was gathered that there were some altercations between police operatives and motorcycle riders over some impounded motorcycles as a result of the recent restriction on movement of motorcycles beyond 9:pm in the State.
A release issued by the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Haruna Mohammed, said the situation degenerated into a chaos which led to an accidental discharge that hit one motorcycle rider, which in turn, led to the burning down of Igboukwu Police Station by irate youths.
