An alleged illegal sit-at-home enforcer was Wednesday demobilised in Anambra, police said Thursday.
The incident occurred around 2pm when operatives laid ambush on the suspects along Oba flyover, Idemili South, where they intercepted a gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes. The other three escaped the scene with bullet wounds, it was gathered.
Items recovered from the suspects are a locally made Barreta pistol, four expanded cartridges, two phones, and some signals/initials showing unpatriotism and disloyalty to the Nigerian government, according to the police.
The state police public relations officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident. He said, “Preliminary information shows the armed men were regrouping to enforce illegal sit-at-home on 30th May, 2024,” adding that, “The operatives are on the trail of the three armed men who escaped the scene.”
Meanwhile, the state commissioner of police, CP Obono Itam, has charged the operatives to sustain the tempo of the onslaught against the criminal elements and “continue to deny them the space they enjoy to commit havocsin the state”.
