Iyke Orji, a social media user said, “Sen Ifeanyi Ubah was attacked today by
hired killers in Enugwu Ukwu. It was a calculated attempt. It wasn’t impromptu
stuff.
“Information was gathered about the time of movement and
takeoff. The policemen were about four in number and they were attacked.
“All their arms were collected. The boys that spearheaded that attack
were about nine in number.”
But another source, who begged not to be named, said six policemen were killed
in the attack.
The spokesperson of the state police command, DSP
Toochukwu Ikenga, confirmed that there was an attack on men of the command at
Enugwu-Ukwu, but insisted that the casualty figure remained unknown.
He
said: “Yes, there was an attack at Enugwu-Ukwu today, but the casualty figure
is not clear. As I speak to you, the CP has personally led a team of men to
the scene, and normalcy has been restored.”
