confirmed killing 9 suspected
robbers who were escaping from
a failed bank robbery at Ikom a
neighbouring town in Cross River
state.
According to Lt Col Sagir Musa, PRO,
82 Division of the Nigerian Army,
Enugu, "their force received
intelligence report about the
robbers escaping from the failed
bank robbery, troops of 24
Engineer Regiment, 82 Division
Garrison and 103 Battalion were
alerted to block all possible escape
routes especially the Afikpo-
Okigwe road, Enugu-Abakaliki
road, Abakaliki-Ogojo road and
Abakaliki-Itigidi-Ugep road which
made it difficult for them to
escape". - Vanguard.
"The Robbers fled towards Ebonyi
state in two vehicles through
Ugep-Abomigbe Rd. Soldiers on
routine patrol in Ebonyi state were
fully informed and subsequently
they intercepted the robbers along
Afikpo-Amasire axis heading
towards Enugu-Port-Harcourt
express way through Okigwe, just
10 km to Akaeze".
"At that point, there was heavy
exchange of fire which resulted in
the death of one soldier and two
soldiers were wounded. Seven
robbers were killed, two seriously
wounded and bled to death before
reaching the hospital".
RIP our Gallant soldier!
