police station in Imowonla is just an outpost
but whenever there is robbery issue, we
report to Ijede."

Tuesday morning and came back again in

"Immediately they finished attacking our
people and left, I quickly called police station
at AREA ‘N’ at Ijede, we called the
emergency unit and also MOPOL. They all
came in to see what the hoodlums had done
to our people.”
