The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, has instructed an urgent manhunt for armed individuals who abducted a Nigerian in Nnewi at 1:30 pm on June 17….
The perpetrators, driving a red Highlander jeep, were tracked to Nnobi, where they exchanged gunfire with security forces.
During the gun duel, one of the security operatives was fatally hit by the bullet and due to the indiscriminate shootings by the hoodlums in an attempt to escape the scene, the bullet also fatally struck two innocent passersby in the area.
