The Enugu state command of the Nigeria
Police Force in its renewed onslaught
against the daredevil criminals terrorizing
members of the public, intercepted a four-
man robbery gang in the early hours of
Monday, July 31.
Operatives of the TransEkulu Division of the
Police Command encountered the suspected
hoodlums after receiving a distress call in
which they responded swiftly.
It was gathered that suspects, armed with a
pump Action Riffle had invaded a house at
Onuakpa street Transekulu where they
allegedly robbed occupants of their
valuables.
They were about abducting one of the
occupants of the house, a 76 year old
woman identified as Mercy Chijioke in her
own car before the operatives arrived.
In the ensuing gun battle, one of the
suspects was gunned down and later
confirmed dead while others were fatally
injured and arrested.
