Eyewitness accounts revealed that the assailants launched the attack at about 9:40 pm, destroying several exhibits.

The Spokesperson of Ondo State Police Command, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, confirmed the incident in a statement issued on behalf of the command.
He stated that no life was lost in the attack, adding that contrary to reports circulating on social media, no church was attacked during the incident.
“According to preliminary reports, at about 9:41 p.m., a group of armed men numbering between 20 and 30 invaded the police station, firing assault rifles and deploying dynamite.”
“The attackers set the station ablaze, leading to the destruction of the building and several exhibits. However, no life was lost in the attack as of the time of this report,” Jimoh said.
According to the Police Spokesperson, the assailants had fled the scene before security operatives got there.
