The Commissioner of Police in Anambra, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has led a combined team of the Nigerian Army, the Anambra State Police Command, and the Agunechemba Security Squad to Ndiukwuenu community in Orumba North LGA of the state, the scene where gunmen killed two policemen and two civilians.
This follows the deadly attack that occurred on Sunday night along the Amansea–Ndiora–Ndiukwuenu–Awa–Ufuma Road, where the gunmen launched an attack on the convoy of Chief of Staff to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Chief Ben Nwankwo.
Investigations also revealed that the death toll from the attack has risen to four persons, comprising two police officers and two civilians who were in the convoy at the time of the incident.
During the visit late on Monday, the CP conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the crime scenes to personally evaluate the situation, reassured the local community, and oversaw tactical teams deployed for investigations.
