Gunmen have reportedly killed three policemen during an attack on Nsukwa Police Divisional Headquarters, Aniocha South LGA.

It was learnt the attack, which occurred around 1.00am on Sunday, led to collapse of parts of roof of the police station.

Details of the attack were still sketchy as at press time.
