Part of the statement reads: “the Anambra
Police Command wishes to inform the general public that warrant of
arrest was obtained by the Police in respect of one Barrister Ifeanyi
Ejiofor of Oraifite, a member of the proscribed IPOB.
“The declaration is in connection
with the killing of two police officers by members of the IPOB in
Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State on Monday,” it stated.
The two victims are Assistant Commissioner of Police in-charge of Oraifite Area Command, Mr Oliver Abbey and an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mr Joseph Akubo.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Haruna Mohammed
had on Monday accused members of IPOB for the death of the two police
officers when a team of security men went to arrest Ejiofor over
complaint of abduction levelled against him.
Haruna said the members of the proscribed
group immediately attacked the police, killing two of its men and
setting ablaze a vehicle belonging to the command.
Pulse Nigeria recall that the fugitive leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, earlier said that he’s ready to return to Nigeria to continue his trial if his safety would be guaranteed.
However, the Command urged the public to provide useful information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect.
Abang appealed to the public to visit the nearest police station or formations or call the police emergency number on 07039194332 for prompt action/
