By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
Security operatives in Anambra State have killed one gunman along the Igbo-Ukwu/Ezinifite Uga axis in Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
The gunman was killed by security men on patrol who received signal about suspected armed men sighted in a black Prado Jeep along the Igbo-Ukwu/Ezinifite-Uga road.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the operatives engaged the armed men in a gun duel, resulting in the demobilization of one of them, while others escaped.
He said: ?The security forces recovered two AK-47 rifles, one pump-action gun, two magazines loaded with live ammunition, fifteen live cartridges, one black Prado Jeep with two different plate numbers, two police body armour vests, three face caps, one black handbag, and various types of criminal charms.?
