An assaulted DPO had led
his team to a notorious den of nine-man gang that had been terrorising Nanka,
also in Orumba North, for years.
The Divisional Police
Officer for Ajali in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State (names
withheld) had one of his ears chopped off and was stripped naked for attempting
to arrest members of a notorious robbery gang.
Anambra State Police Public
Relations Officer, Mr Awkuzu Okechukwu, said that following a raid on Nanka
community, Ifedilichukwu Nwankwo, Chidi Nwankwo and Udoye Kenechukwu were
arrested after previous attempts by the police from Force CID, Abuja, and Zone

they went to effect the arrest.
“The DPO was robbed of his
