Insecurity in Abia: Two police officers killed, Government vehicle burnt, as Otti’s Commissioner escapes - Police Report

Abia State Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, yesterday escaped death, as his convoy was attacked in Aba.

A police officer attached to Ukaegbu, who was former Special Adviser on Trade and Commerce to Governor Alex Otti, was killed and a vehicle belonging to Abia State Ministry for Trade, Commerce, and Investment, was burnt.

A release by the Abia State Command of the Nigerian Police, signed by ASP Maureen Chioma Chinaka, for the Commissioner of Police, added that a police inspector was also killed.

The full statement reads:

“At approximately 4 PM on Tuesday, 25/07/2023, a distressing incident occurred at SAMEC, located near Faulks Road in Aba. A group of hoodlums launched an attack on the convoy of the Commissioner for Trade, Commerce, and Industry during the honorable commissioner’s familiarization tour to markets in the Aba metropolis. The convoy was en route to Ekeoha shopping plaza when the armed assailants opened fire.

“Regrettably, amidst the chaos, two police officers lost their lives in the line of duty. A police constable who was part of the security convoy, was fatally shot. Additionally, a police inspector who was not initially part of the convoy but happened to be on a separate assignment with a police Hilux, also met the scene and tragically lost his life. Furthermore, the hoodlums set ablaze a vehicle belonging to the Ministry for Trade, Commerce, and Investment.

“The Commissioner of Police assures the public that every possible effort will be exerted as discreet investigations are ongoing to ensure justice is served. We condemn this cowardly act of violence and remain steadfast in our resolve to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“We urge the public to remain calm, vigilant, and cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies. Any information, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, could prove pivotal in identifying and apprehending the culprits responsible for this heinous act.

“In conclusion, we emphasize our unwavering commitment to pursuing justice and upholding the triumph of good over evil.

“Together, as a united community, we shall prevail against such senseless acts of violence.”

Things

wahala for who be Ibo in this country

God epp

I was told that they want to stone davido to death for blasphemy in one of his songs.

My cent is that all their imams should try to teach them how to ignore things that they consider offensive and provoking.

Nnamdi kanu and Simon Ekpa will never die well for all the atrocities they are causing in the East.
Look at how they are just killing people like chickens on a daily basis!
Kanu and Ekpa will both die very brutal deaths in few months or years to come, along with the pigs supporting their murderous activities.

This is serious.

I pity all these Mopol. They are dying everyday protecting looters.


RIP

Insecurity in a new dimension

Otti, over to you. Secure your state.
