He said, “On approaching the terror camp, the hoodlums on sighting the command’s tactical teams shot at them, and there was an exchange of gunfire.

A locally made double barrel pump action gun.

"The community went on jubilation on hearing of the death of the two terror gangs.

While the other one was said to be one of his vicious gang members.

“It is on record that Modestus Ugwuoha a.k.a 'Modukpe' and his terror gang masterminded the attack on Njaba Police Station and the killing of a police Inspector. He has been on the wanted list of the Police command for a very long time.”


He said the command’s tactical teams were still combing the bush to find other members of the gang who fled and possibly recover their arms.
