The Commissioner of Police Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma has strongly condemned the attack and gruesome murder of four Police Operatives and a civilian by gunmen suspected to be members of the Proscribed IPOB/ESN  and has deployed the Command’s Tactical Units with the available operational assets and intelligence to go all out in synergy with other security agencies and hunt down the hoodlums responsible for the attack.

The tragic incident serves as a painful reminder of the daily risks and sacrifices Police officers embrace in their unwavering commitment to public safety. 

CP Aboki Danjuma commiserates with the families of the deceased victims and prayed for the repose of their souls.

The Commissioner of Police calls on the general public, particularly the residents of Ogbakwu who may have any information that will assist the Police in apprehending the hoodlums responsible for the attack to report the same at the nearest Police Station or via the Command’s emergency lines 08034773600 or 08098880197.
