On the 15/11/2019 at about 01:15am,Police operatives attached to the Command Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) responded to a distress call along Onitsha/Enugu Highway and encountered a barricade put across the road at Ukpo junction by suspected armed robbers.

2. On sighting the Police, the hoodlums opened fire and Operatives returned fire forcing the bandits to abandon their dastardly mission and scamper for safety into the bush.

3.However, one of the suspected armed robber,whose name is yet unknown sustained gunshot injuries and was immediately rushed to the Hospital for medical attention.

4. Exhibits recovered at the scene includes one locally made double barrel shotgun, three live cartridges, two expended cartridges and a machete.Case under investigation.

5. The Command enjoins the Public to report anyone with suspected bullet wound at the nearest Police Station or through Police emergency number 07039194332 for prompt response.
