Four gunmen terrorizing various sections of Anambra State have been executed by police during a fight in the Umuchu hamlet of the Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
The four were taken out at Umuchu community in Aguata Local Government Area of the state during a gun battle.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner of Police in the state, Echeng Echeng, during a press briefing held at the command’s headquarters in Amawbia, Awka South LGA on Monday.
Echeng said that the police acted on information released to them by a concerned citizen in Umunze community, Orumba South LGA.
“Last Monday, just a phone call by a concerned citizen, I don’t know him up till now, he told me that bad boys using Hummer Jeep were operating in Umunze. And I followed it immediately because I had a team that was close by.
“When the team left, he told me that they had left Umunze and entered Umuchu. He gave me a description and we attacked that place.
“When we got there, they exchanged fire with us and four of them were taken out.
“The Hummer bus is the one that is parked outside there. You see what information can do. We expect more from the communities”
The Commissioner commiserated with the family and kinsmen of Okechukwu Okoye saying that the police would not leave any stone unturned in its efforts to bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
