Gang chops off the ear of a police DPO, strips him naked, during arrest

                  
According to the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Ali Okechukwu, the members of the gang, led by one Ifedilichukwu Nwankwo, allegedly chopped off one of the ears of a Divisional Police Officer of
Ajali Division who was at Nanka to effect their arrest.

Okechukwu said, “On 17/02/2016 at about 9am hours, one Okechukwu Udezuka of Oraifite and Ebuka, surname unknown, were shot dead at Tarzan, Nkpor by a gang of armed robbers. In the course of investigation, two persons namely Emamanuel Nwabudu, Chigozie Nweke, a.k.a Achito, were arrested.

The suspects named one Ifedilichukwu Nwankwo of Nanka and others as those that attacked and killed Okechukwu Udezuka and Ebuka. Every attempt to arrest Ifedidilichukwu and his gang members proved abortive. The gang burnt down a police Hilux Jeep during an arrest in the community.

On 20/06/2016, a team led by the DPO, was ambushed at Nanka by the gang when they went to effect arrest. The DPO was robbed of his handset and sums of money. He was stripped naked and one of his ears chopped off. Equally, his official uniform was torn to shreds. The DPO, who narrowly escaped death, is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.”
