Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Police Command in Imo State says its men killed four hoodlums who allegedly attacked the Izombe Police Division in Oguta Local Government Area of the state on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police in Imo, CP Abutu Yaro, disclosed this in a statement signed by the command\u2019s Spokesman, SP Bala Elkana on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Yaro explained that many of the hoodlums fled with bullet wounds.<\/p>\n

Recall that the attack came less than 24 hours after gunmen razed the Atta police station in Njaba council area.<\/p>\n

However, just unlike the Atta incident, four of the hoodlums were killed in a gun duel with security agents.<\/p>\n

Yaro said the latest incident took place between 7 pm and 10 pm on Saturday in Izombe.<\/p>\n

The CP said, \u201cThe hoodlums in their numbers launched an offensive on the Izombe police station but were repelled by the gallant policemen on duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour hoodlums were neutralised during the attack while others escaped with bullet wounds.\u201c<\/p>\n

Yaro said that a mop-up operation was ongoing to arrest fleeing members of the gang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
