Confirming the incident, Commissioner of Police (CP) Aderemi Adeoye, said there was no loss of life in the incident.
Adeoye said the Awgbu and Neni attacks were related and that intensive investigation was ongoing.
He said the command was gathering Intelligence to establish the identities of the assailants, assuring that they would not escape justice.
“We are gathering intelligence to know those responsible. I do not want to disclose what we are doing. In the fullness of time we will do that.
“They will not go scot-free,” he assured. (NAN)
