The police command in Enugu State says it raided a hideout used by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the Akwuke axis of Enugu metropolis.
The police operatives, however, met with resistance from the renegades, who opened fire upon sighting them, but they were subdued by the superior firepower of the police, leading to the killing of two of the renegades, the police said.
The command’s spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Sunday that the police conducted the raid on Saturday at about 2:30 a.m.
Mr Ndukwe said that other members of the outlawed group escaped with various gunshot wounds.
