The Imo State Police Command says it killed six members of IPOB who killed Ahmed Gulak, a former political adviser to a former President Goodluck Jonathan on politics.
The command spokesman, Bala Elkannah, disclosed this in a statement.
Gulak was shot dead in Owerri, Imo state, by IPOB members on Sunday on his way to the airport.
“Three AK 47 Rifles, one Pistol, five AK 47 magazines with ninety two rounds of live ammunition and criminal charms were recovered,” the statement said.
“The assailants were identified as members of the proscribed IPOB and ESN. The driver who drove late Ahmed Gulak and a co- victim who survived have all identified the dead body of the IPOB/ESM members positively as their attackers and also identified the three vehicles recovered as those used by the attackers. During the encounter, two of the police armored personnel carriers (APC) were riddled with bullets but survived the gun battle.”
