A combined team of Police Special Forces and Operatives serving in Igbo-Eze North Police Division of the Enugu state Command Thursday raided an alleged IPOB/ESN camp, at Imufu in Igbo-Eze North local government area.
The police spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, in a release disclosed that the operatives engaged the criminals in a gun battle which resulted in the death of three of the hoodlums while others escaped with bullet wounds.
Ndukwe said “four pump action guns, one locally fabricated revolver gun and pistol each, 67 live cartridges, military camouflage uniforms, fabrics of IPOB insignia, objects suspected to be amulets and other incriminating exhibits were recovered from the dare-devils.”
He also disclosed that preliminary investigations showed that the criminal elements were responsible for the shooting and killing of two Neighbourhood Watch Group security personnel on July 21, 2023, at about 1:00am, at Umuagama in Enugu-Ezike community of Igbo-Eze North LGA, and had also made several attempts to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order in some parts of the LGA
