Just yesterday, Sunday, tue Police in Enugu allegedly killed a man on their list of suspected notorious armed robbers in a gun duel.
Ebere Amaraizu, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in the State, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu that the man was identified as Uchenna Ngene, a.k.a. Youngboy.
According to Amaraizu, items recovered from the man included an English-made cut to size double barrel riffle with some expended and live cartridges.
He said that the suspect was tracked-down in a manhunt by operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), to his hide out at Akwuke in Enugu South Local Government Area of the state.
Meanwhile, the corpse was deposited at the hospital’s morgue.
However, Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of Administration, Mr Imaikop Okpongkpong, said the operatives partnered with other relevant stakeholders to achieve the feat.
Okpongkpong assured the people that the command in partnership with sister security agencies and relevant stakeholders would ensure a smooth and hitch free yuletide.
The police had intensified massive onslaught against criminals in recent weeks and had been yielding desired results.
