Three Dead As Police Repel Suspected Terrorist Attack On Divisional HQ
Three terrorists were killed Sunday night after the Imo State Police Command repelled an attack on the Njaba Police Divisional Headquarters.
According to the Command’s Spokesperson, Henry Okoye the hoodlums that attacked the police divisional headquarter are allegedly members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militia group Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Okoye said the hoodlums drove in three SUVs and shot sporadically but the police repelled the attack, killing three of the criminals.
He said, “On September 15, 2024, police operatives successfully repelled an attack on the Njaba Divisional Headquarters by hoodlums suspected to be affiliated with the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed militia, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
“The attackers, arriving in three SUVs, launched a violent assault on the headquarters with sporadic gunfire.
“In response, the ever gallant operatives swiftly took up defensive positions and engaged the assailants, resulting in the neutralisation of three attackers.
The remaining assailants, who “sustained various gunshot injuries, fled into nearby bushes.
“During the operation, our forces recovered one General Purpose Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, and three vehicles: a Toyota Lexus 470, a Mercedes GLK, and a Toyota Venza.
“An intense operation, led by the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, is currently underway to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
“The ongoing efforts aim to capture those responsible and ensure justice is served.”
