POLICE NEUTRALIZE FOUR GUNMEN ATTEMPTING TO ENFORCE SIT-AT-HOME IN ENUGU
Further to the earlier report on Police Operatives serving in Awkunanaw Division of the Command, dislodging armed subversive criminal elements, who attempted to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order, in the early hours 7th July 2023, a combined team of tactical Police Operatives of the Command have further discovered and recovered the lifeless bodies of four of the male hoodlums, in a forest behind G. Ede Filling Station/7-Up, at Awkunanaw, Enugu, where they escaped into.
Recall that the Operatives intercepted the criminals at One-Day, Awkunanaw, Enugu, as they were snatching an ENTRACO branded Sharon minivan from its driver at gunpoint. They engaged the Operatives in a gun duel, but escaped with varying degrees of fatal gunshot wounds, due to the superior firepower of the Operatives.
Hence, a manhunt operation was launched by the combined team, while a thorough search conducted on the vehicle led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle with a magazine loaded with nineteen live ammunition of 7.62 calibres, two bottles of petrol bomb and other incriminating exhibits.
