ANAMBRA POLICE FOIL ARMED ROBBERY ATTEMPT AT IHIALA, NEUTRALIZE GUNMAN. (PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE



*Anambra Police Foil Armed Robbery Attempt at Ihiala, Neutralize Gunman*


Police Special Crack Squad deployed to Ihiala by Anambra State Commissioner of Police weeks before Christmas has foiled an armed robbery operation and neutralised one of the hoodlums.


The Crack Squad which works  with the local vigilante had restored calm in the ancient city making it possible for Ihiala sons and daughters who trooped in from the Diaspora and elsewhere to enjoy the  festive season.


The encounter with the gunmen occurred in the night of 12 January, 2024 as they attempted to rob a middle-aged man of his vehicle at Ubiahuikwem, Ihiala. 


On sighting the Squad the gunmen who operated on two motorcycles  opened fire on the Police. Operatives professionally engaged them to avoid hitting the would-be victim of the armed robbery who then zoomed off from the scene.


One Automatic Pump Action Gun and two motorcycles were recovered from the hoodlums.


The Commissioner of Police who expressed satisfaction with the tremendous work the Police Squad has done charged them not to relent in flushing out all criminal elements out of Ihiala  and neighbouring communities like Isseke, Lilu, Orsumoghu and Azia. 


He promised continuous logistics support to the Squad to ensure it fulfils its mandate.
