Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Enugu State Police Command have crushed a five-man gang who attempted to enforce an illegal sit-at-home in Enugu in the early hours of Friday.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in Enugu, Friday evening.<\/p>\n

He recalled that the police had earlier on the same day reported that operatives of the Awkunanaw Division of the Command intercepted and engaged the criminals in a gun duel at One-Day, Awkunanaw, Enugu, as they were snatching an Enugu State Transport Company, ENTRACO-branded Sharon mini van at gunpoint for their deadly operation.<\/p>\n

Although they managed to escape with serious gunshot injuries, a thorough search conducted on the vehicle led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle with a magazine loaded with 19 live ammunition of 7.62 calibres, two bottles of petrol bomb and other incriminating exhibits.<\/p>\n

But giving an update on the operation, the PPRO said: \u201cFurther 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 of today, 07\/07\/2023, a combined team of tactical Police Operatives of the Command have further discovered and recovered the lifeless bodies of four (4) of the male hoodlums, in a forest behind G. Ede Filling Station\/7-Up, at Awkunanaw, Enugu, where they escaped into.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Ammani, has once again reassured that the Police and other Security Forces in the State shall not relent in their efforts to maintain maximum security and safety of the law-abiding citizens, as they go about their lawful businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe, however, solicits their continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n
