Men of the Nigeria Police Force attached to 3 3 police division at Nkwelle-Ezunaka, Oyi local government area, Anambra State, have killed six members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN) during a failed attack on the police station.

The release stated that the insurgents shot sporadically in a bid to gain entrance into the police station but were resisted by the Divisional Police Officer and his men.
“The outlawed IPOB/ESN insurgents came in their numbers with two SUV vehicles and one Toyota Sienna, armed with guns, IEDs and petrol bombs, started shooting indiscriminately to gain entrance to the station and were fiercely engaged and resisted by the Divisional Police Officer and his men in a long gun battle before the prompt reinforcement team, made up of the Military and PMF Operatives arrived the scene.”
“During the gun duel, unfortunately, one police operative attached to the station was fatally wounded and an office in the facility was partially affected by the petrol bomb the Insurgents threw inside the station.
