Anambra State government has commended the bravery of security officials who repelled attacks on  premises of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Police B-Division all in Awka.

Governor Willie Obiano gave the commendation when he visited the locations.

He urged the police officers to continue remaining agile and alert to their responsiblities.

According to the governor, no casualty was recorded by the Nigeria police, though some of the hoodlums were gunned down.

Gov. Obiano said that such braveness is needed by security operatives at a time like this, revealing that most of the gunshots that were heard in the night, belong to the police.

The Governor continued that even though the perpetrators of the act were able to throw petrol explosives at the structures, not much was destroyed, promising to repair everything as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Governor Obiano went ahead to inspect level of work at the International Conference Center and Awka City Stadium.
