Police Gun Down Sit-at-Home Enforcer in Anambra, Recover Arms, Biafra Insignia

The Anambra State Police Command says its operatives have laid ambush and intercepted some suspected hoodlums, allegedly regrouping to enforce the sit-at-home order in the state on Thursday.

The incident happened along the Oba Flyover in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of the State, where the operatives were said to have intercepted the gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes.

Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, had declared 30th May 2024 as sit-at-home in commemoration of Biafra Heroes Day, warning against any form of activities on the day.

Speaking on the security operation, the Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra, Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement to newsmen, said the operatives demobilized one of the miscreants, while the other three escaped the scene with bullet injuries.

He revealed that the items recovered during the operation included a locally made Barretta pistol, four expanded cartridges, two phones, and some signals/initials showing unpatriotism and disloyalty to the Nigerian government.

According to him, preliminary information shows the armed men were regrouping to enforce illegal sit-at-home on 30th May 2024; adding that the operatives are on the trail of the three others who escaped the scene.

“To this end, the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State 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,” he said.
