Six suspected gunmen alleged to have attempted an attack on the Imo State Police Command headquarters have been killed by a joint military and police team on Sunday morning, June 6.

The police have identified one of the six men killed during the attempted attack as Joseph Uka Nnachi, aka Dragon.

He is alleged to be killer-squad commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)/Eastern Security Network (ESN).

The police claimed Dragon was responsible for over 70 per cent of the killings in the southeast.
