Police Operatives in Enugu State have neutralised three suspected Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)/Eastern Security Network (ESN) hoodlums planning to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order in the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Enugu State, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said the operation was carried out by a joint security team, comprising SWAT Police Operatives of the Enugu State Command, NPF Special Forces, and Troops of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army Enugu at about today. 

He said three of the hoodlums who opened fire on the joint team upon sighting them, were neutralized, while several others escaped with severe degrees of gunshot wounds in the ensuing gunfight.

They said the arms recovered include three pump-action guns, ten (10) machetes, and other incriminating exhibits were recovered; while an intense manhunt for those on the run is ongoing.
