Joint security forces comprising the Police and Military dispersed suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern security Network (ESN) enforcing illegal sit-at-home in Nkwo market, Ihiala Local Government of Anambra State.
The hoodlums, armed with guns and other dangerous weapons, came out in their numbers on a motorbike about 12:30 pm on Tuesday and started shooting sporadically to disrupt vehicular movement and rob a bank but they were repelled by the gallant Operatives.
The State Police Spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who made this development known on Wednesday, said a stray bullet hit the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the bank on the leg.
“The Outlawed group members armed with guns and other dangerous weapons came out in their numbers on a motorbike and started shooting sporadically, in an attempt to rob a bank and to disrupt commercial activities and vehicular movement going on in Ihaila.

Unfortunately, due to the indiscriminate shootings by the armed group, a stray bullet hit the chief security officer CSO of the bank on the leg and he has been taken to the hospital where he is currently receiving treatment. No life was lost.
