This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, on Friday in Enugu.

 

Ndukwe said that police operatives foiled the attack at about 6.p.m. on July 21.

 

He said: “Police operatives of the Command foiled an attack on Igbo-Eze North Police Division by armed and hooded criminal elements.
