Two gunmen were on Thursday shot dead by a Police Inspector in Aforukwu, Orogwe in Owerri West Local Government Area, Imo State.
The gunmen were killed when they invaded the Inspector's house.
The bandits who came in around 2 am scaled the perimeter wall fence into the compound in an attempt to enter his house.
While the bandits were attempting to destroy the iron burglary protector and front door to enter the flat, the Police Inspector, who professionally placed himself at a vantage position, engaged the bandits in an aggressive gun duel.
Imo Police spokesman CSP Michael Abattam who confirmed incident said that one of them was neutralised on the spot while others escaped into the surrounding bushes fatally injured.
“On arrival, they combed the surrounding bushes where a corpse, two locally made pistols and an identity card were recovered.
“The recovered identity card belongs to one of the neutralised bandits, Chukwuemzie Chukwu, a native of Atta in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State and an electrician.”
The two corpses have been evacuated and deposited at the Federal Medical Center, Owerri.
