In a separate incident, gunmen killed an unnamed police officer and took his firearm on Sunday in Ogidi, Idemili North Council of the state.

According to a source, the gunmen set up shop outside Ogidi Town Hall, where several police officers regularly maintain a roadblock.

They waited for a long time, he added, until they noticed one of the cops and shot him.

“They took his AK 47 rifle from him before fleeing,” the person claimed.

Ikenga confirmed the event but denied that any police officers were killed.

He said that a gunfight broke out between police officers and several hoodlums, with one of the officers dying as a result of his injuries.

He said: “Information before me states that on May 29, 2022, at about 12:50 pm, police operatives, on observation patrol along Abatete expressway, Ogidi, engaged some armed hoodlums.

“Unfortunately, during the gun duel, one of the police operatives was fatally wounded and due to the superior fire of the police, the gunmen were made to flee the scene.”
