September 23, (THEWILL) — The Enugu State Police Command has dismissed reports that gunmen attacked the family home of Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Frank Mba, and attempted to abduct his relatives.
In a statement on Thursday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, described the claim as false, clarifying that what occurred on September 18, 2025, was a foiled armed robbery in Ezimo, Udenu Local Government Area, Mba’s hometown.
During the exchange of gunfire, a police officer was shot and later died in the hospital. One of the suspects was arrested and is assisting with investigations, while others escaped but are being trailed.
The Commissioner of Police, Mamman Giwa, directed continuous operations to track down the fleeing suspects and vowed that the command would not relent in combating violent crimes across the state.
He urged residents to disregard fake social media reports and continue supporting the police in their efforts to safeguard lives and property.
