Suspected bandits launched a violent attack on a police station in Ondo State's Ipele-Owo community, setting the facility ablaze and sending residents running for safety.
The incident occurred around 10 pm on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, as Christians prepared for New Year's crossover services.
Eyewitnesses describe the attackers, numbering about 20, as they stormed the area in a "commando style" assault, shooting sporadically. "It was a terrorist attack... many of us had to flee into the bush," a resident said.
The Ondo State Police Command confirmed the incident, with spokesperson Jimoh Abayomi saying they're gathering details. Security operatives have been deployed to restore calm
