The Imo State Police operatives have killed three suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in a gun battle and one officer was injured in Agwa, Oguta Local Government Area of Imo state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Michael Abattam, made this known during the parade of some of the lifeless bodies of the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Owerri, on Thursday.
The police said the incident happened last Wednesday and that they moved into action, based on a distress call they received from the Agwa community that the community was under attack by hoodlums.
The PRO added that the police is still trailing other suspects who fled with gunshot injuries.
