Attack: Police launch manhunt for armed hoodlums in Enugu

The police in Enugu State have launched a manhunt for armed hoodlums who allegedly attacked their Isi-Uzo Police Division in the Ikem community of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of the state.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, on Tuesday in Enugu.

Ndukwe said that the hoodlums attempted to attack the divisional station in the wee hours of the morning of Tuesday.

“Tactical Police Operatives of the Command are on the trail of armed hoodlums suspected to be members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its Eastern Security Network (ESN) wing.

“The outlawed IPOB/ESN group members, who in their numbers today, at about 4:30 a.m., attempted to attack the Isi-Uzo Police Division of the Command, were repelled by police operatives on duty.

“Many of the miscreants escaped with gunshot wounds, while one of the police operatives who sustained gunshot wounds is receiving treatment and is in stable condition,” he said.

The police spokesman assured the people of the state that further developments on the matter would be communicated.
