Anambra State Police Command has clarified a shooting incident that occurred at Izuchukwu junction, Nnobi/Nnewi road, on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.

The incident, which happened at about 7 pm, was linked to Non-State actors, who had vowed to disrupt the burial of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

However, according to the Command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the incident was rather an attack by security operatives who mistook police personnel for non-state actors, leading to the exchange of gunfire.

He said: “Preliminary investigations reveal that the security operatives were trailing a suspect when the gun duel ensued at a security checkpoint.

“Unfortunately, bullets hit the fuel tank of a Toyota Venza Sedan carrying the police personnel, causing it to catch fire. Two innocent bystanders were injured in the crossfire and are currently receiving medical attention.”

The police assured the public that the situation was under control and that the attack was not an attempt to disrupt the burial ceremonies of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

The remains of Ubah would be buried in his country home in Nnewi on Friday, and is expected to attract lots of dignitaries to the state.

Police assured that it is in charge, assuring of adequate security in the city.
