Anambra State Police Command said its operatives have demobilised IPOB sit-at-home enforcers in the state.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwuu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement in Awka on Wednesday.
According to Ikenga, following the intelligence gathered, our operatives today, May 29, 2024, by 2 p.m., laid ambush on the miscreants along the Oba flyover in Idemili South, intercepted a gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes, and demobilised one of the miscreants suspected of IPOB, while the other three escaped the scene with bullet injuries.
“The Operatives recovered a locally made Barreta pistol, four expanded cartridges, two phones, and some signals/initials showing unpatriotism and disloyalty to the Nigerian government.
Preliminary information shows the armed men were regrouping to enforce an illegal sit-at-home tomorrow, May 30, 2024. Meanwhile, the operatives are on the trail of the three armed men who escaped the scene.
To this end, the CP charges the operators to sustain the tempo of the onslaught against the criminal elements and continue to deny them the space they enjoy to commit havoc in the state.
