The Imo State Police Command has killed a deadly commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra, suspected to be involved in the killing of DPO Ahiazu Mbaise.
His killing followed the confessions made by suspected IPOB/ESN commanders identified as Ebube Virus and Ishaka, who were arrested by operatives of the command’s anti-kidnapping squad.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye, he said that CSP Oladimeji Odeyeyiwa, on Monday, stormed the criminal hideout of a deadly IPOB/ESN syndicate led by Ebube Virus and Ishaka at Umuogu Amuzu in Aboh-Mbaise LGA of Imo State and dislodged them.
He said that the Police neutralised the Second in Command, Ebube Virus who is famous on the Command’s wanted list due to their nefarious activities in the Mbaise axis, in a fierce gunfight that ensued between the terrorists and the combat-ready Police operatives
He said while others escaped with gunshot injuries, one AK-47 rifle loaded with 19 rounds of live ammunition was recovered from the neutralised terrorist.
According to him, operations are still in progress to track down other fleeing suspects and make them face the full wrath of the law.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, while appreciating the gallant operatives for their sustained efforts in the onslaught against all forms of violent crimes in the state
He reiterated the command’s resolve to collaborate with other sister security agencies towards achieving a peaceful and more secure Imo State during and after the Yuletide season.
