The joint security operatives comprising of mobile policemen, Army, Navy and other security agencies stopped journalists and after a brief search, asked the journalists to return, on the insistence that a gun battle was on, ahead.
Two unidentified policemen and a soldier who spoke to our reporter said, āYou have to go back for your own good. For three hours now, we have been exchanging fire with your IPOB brothers.
āOur men are in the bush now, and it will be risky for you to take this route,ā the security operatives advised journalists.
When DAILY POST reached the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Eworo, he refused to confirm the development, asking that the reporter call back later.
