The police officer who said he would not want his name mentioned said that “They were over two hundred boys, with their cars singing a song of victory and when they reach the gate of our police headquarters they threw dynamite at us and the thing exploded and the vehicles caught fire especially the vehicle park.

“I jumped over the fence because they are many. When they started shooting bullets it got one of my colleagues in his hand and he fell down.”
