Ikenga said: “The situation is being monitored; there is a deliberate operation to arrest the suspects.”
“There is a little security account of some armed men and vigilantes at Aguluzigbo. I am aware that the security operatives and vigilantes confronted these armed men. Our operatives have gone there to support the vigilante.
“No information has been heard from, but once I get a clear picture, I will still let you know, our operatives are currently there supporting the vigilantes to make sure that peace returns to that place.”
