People of
Biafra (IPOB)
who
attempted to
attack Imo
State Chairman
Council Of
Traditional
Rulers, His
Royal Highness
Eze Dr E. C
Okeke, have
been shot

The hoodlums,
who were in
three Hilux
vehicle,
reportedly shot
sporadically as
they advanced
towards their
target.
CSP Michael
Abatham, Police
Public Relations
Officer in Imo,
said upon
receipt of
intelligence that
the hoodlums
were headed
for the palace,
the Command’s
Tactical Team
joined by the
military
immediately
mobilized and
rushed there.
“On their way,
the hoodlums
on sighting the
combined team
engaged them
in a gun duel,
throwing petrol
bombs. The
gallant team
responded,
positioning
themselves
professionally.
In the exchange
of gun fire that
ensued, the
hoodlums were
overwhelmed
due to the
superior fire-
power of the
combined team
and in the
process, six of
the hoodlums
were
neutralized
while others
escaped with
various degrees
of gunshot
injuries.”
“The combined
team did not
relent in their
effort, they
chased the
hoodlums
recovering one
pump action
gun, three
blood stained
cutlasses and
three Hilux
Vehicles
suspected to
have been
snatched from
innocent
citizens.
“However, calm
has been
restored in the
area and the
corpses of the
neutralized
bandits
removed and
deposited in
the mortuary.
On the side of
the combined
team, no life
was lost apart
from one of the
police vehicles
that got burnt
due to the fire
that ignited it
from the petrol
bomb,” he said
in a statement.
IPOB has
stepped up its
attacks since
the arrest of
Nnamdi Kanu,
its leader.

All this attacks don't have a direction . It's just to cause mayhem. The Southeast should better start calling the federal government to intervene now . Rather than sitting idle till it gets out of hand .
