Following intel gathered, Police operatives from the Anambra State Police Command, laid ambush on miscreants along Oba flyover, Idemili South Local Government Area and intercepted a gang of four armed men operating on motorbikes.
A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, explained that the Police operatives demobilized one of the miscreants while the other three escaped the scene with bullet injuries.
Items recovered from the group were a locally made Barreta pistol, four expanded cartridges, two phones and some items showing unpatriotism and disloyalty to the Nigerian government.
According to the Police, preliminary information shows the armed men were regrouping to enforce illegal sit-at-home yesterday.
Meanwhile, the operatives are on the trail of the three-armed men who escaped the scene.
To this end the Commissioner of Police in the state charges the operatives to sustain the tempo of the onslaught against criminal elements and continue to deny them the space they enjoy to commit havoc in the State.
