The Ebonyi State Police Command has said it rebuffed attempts by members of the outlawed IPOB to enforce a sit at home order in parts of the state. A statement signed by Onome Onovwakpoyeya, State Police Public Relations Officer, claimed that “the hoodlums who went to Ahiaofu road, along Enugu – Abakaliki highway, Ishieke and Akaeze markets and started shooting sporadically were engaged in a shootout by Police tactical and patrol teams before they escaped.”
According to the police, no life was lost either on the part of the police or the civil populace, adding that “Intensive manhunt is ongoing to apprehend and bring them to justice.”
The Commissioner Of Police asked members of the public to “remain calm, oblige the police with useful information and go about their lawful activities, as maximum security measures have been emplaced, including intensive motorized patrol of the nooks and crannies of the State to halt their activities.”
