The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, has directed a massive manhunt for suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) believed to be behind the recent attacks in Okigwe.
These attacks targeted the Correctional Service Farm Settlements, Umualomoke, and the residence of Senator Patrick Ndubeze in the early hours of February 12, 2024.
In a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, Okoye Henry, the Commissioner of Police stated:
“The Commissioner of Police Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, has deployed the Command’s Special Tactical Squad and equipped them with the available resources to go all out in synergy with the military and other sister security agencies and hunt down suspected IPOB and ESN disgruntled elements, allegedly responsible for the attacks on Correctional Service Farm Settlements, Umualomoke, and the residence of Dist. Senator Patrick Ndubeze, both in Okigwe, in the early hours of 12/02/2024, which resulted in the release of seven inmates, the abduction of the officer in charge of the farm settlement, and the death of a police inspector, respectively.”
During his visit to Okigwe for an on-the-spot assessment of the incidents, the Commissioner of Police mandated the special tactical squad operatives to intensify efforts to rescue the officer in charge of the farm settlement unhurt and to apprehend the fleeing inmates to face the full wrath of the law.
