The State’s Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor who confirmed the incident in a statement, said several persons were injured during the unfortunate attack.

It was  gathered that the victims were waiting to board a train to Warri in Delta State when the assailants invaded the station shooting sporadically.
