On Sunday morning, the attackers came in a white hummer bus and wanted to access the Command Headquarters through Works Layout around Alvan Nursery and Primary School, Owerri but had a bloody fight with the Security Forces.
According to the State Police Spokesperson, SP Bala Elkana, the hoodlums were first intercepted by the Military at the outer perimeter cordon provided for the Police.
Five hoodlums were killed in action (KIA)-including Joseph Uka Nnachi, alias, King of Dragons.
One suspect arrested during the gunbattle, 30-year-old Stanley Osinachi, told the Police that Dragon is the gang leader in Imo State reporting to their supreme leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
“The same gang, together with their members killed in previous operations, were responsible for a series of attacks in different parts of the State. They are the same people in the viral video that blocked the flyover at Orji and killed three unarmed civilians.
