The Anambra State Police Command said it had demobilised one illegal sit-at-home enforcer and recovered a locally made Barreta pistol.
The Police spokesman in the State, Ikenga Tochukwu, while confirming the incident, explained that it was due to a swift reaction to intel gathered.
Following the intel, Police operatives on the 29th of May, at about 2:pm 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.
He added: “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 Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, charged 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.”
