The Imo State Police Commissioner, Aboki Danjuma, has ordered the deployments of the Command’s Special Tactical Squad to Umualomoke community in Okigwe to hunt down the suspected IPOB/ESN elements who allegedly carried out the attack on the Correctional Service Farm Settlements located in the area.

CP Danjuma disclosed this during his visit to Okigwe for an on-the-spot assessment of the incident which resulted in the death of a Police Inspector, the abduction of the Officer in charge of the farm settlement and the release of seven inmates.

The State Commissioner of Police told journalists that he has also mandated the Special Tactical Squad to ensure that the abducted Officer was rescued unhurt and the fleeing inmates arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.
