Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A few hours after the Imo State Police Commissioner, Aboki Danjuma held a crucial stakeholders\u2019 meeting, yet to be identified gunmen have killed four police officers and one female POS operator.<\/p>\n

The Police Commissioner, who confirmed the incident, ordered the Command\u2019s Tactical Units to go all out in collaboration with other sister agencies to hunt down the hoodlums responsible for the attack.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Monday along the Owerri-Onitsha Expressway where the operatives who were on routine patrol at Irete were ambushed by the attackers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn receipt of the unfortunate incident, the Commissioner of Police immediately mobilized to the scene for an on-the-spot assessment of the ugly incident wherein the lifeless bodies of the deceased were evacuated and deposited at the mortuary for preservation, while the injured victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is currently responding to treatment,\u201d the release partly stated.<\/p>\n

The release further disclosed that the Police Commissioner expressed sadness over the unfortunate incident and vowed that the Command would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the perpetrators were all arrested and brought to justice, stressing that the miscreants responsible for the attack had murdered peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tragic incident serves as a painful reminder of the daily risks and sacrifices police officers embrace in their unwavering commitment to public safety,\u201d the CP stated.<\/p>\n
