Operatives of Anambra State Police Command have neutralised one person who was attempting to enforce sit-at-home in the state, while recovering a locally made pistol, expanded cartridges, phones and other incriminating items.
This was confirmed in a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, SP Ikenga Tochukwu on Wednesday, 29th May, 2024.
According to the statement, the operatives following an intel, “laid ambush on the miscreants along Oba flyover, Idemili south, intercepted a gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes and demobilized one of the miscreants while the other three escaped the scene with bullet injuries.”
Ikenga said during the operation which took place around 2pm today, “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 illegal sit-at-home tomorrow 30th May 2024. Meanwhile, the operatives are on the trail of the three armed men who escaped the scene.
“To this end the CP charges the Operatives 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.”
