Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the killing of local vigilante operatives at Porche nightclub in Oba, Idemili North Local Government Area of the State on Sunday.
Spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga who confirmed the incident to Journalists in Awka on Monday, said the police recovered some bodies from the scene. He added that several others sustained injuries.
He said: “Yes, the incident happened. Our men were alerted and they quickly moved to the scene of the incident but the gunmen had already fled.
“Our men have recovered the bodies of the vigilante operatives who were fatally wounded, while others sustained various degrees of injury.
“We have also fully deployed our men to Oba and an operation is ongoing. So far, no arrest has been made,” he said.
.A source in Oba put the number of those killed at Porsche Nightclub at seven while one of the security operatives was beheaded, and another had his foot cut off and made away with by the invading gunmen.
The Sunday night’s attack on Porsche Nightclub is not the first in Oba, a growing suburban town in Anambra, close to Onitsha. A popular native doctor, Akwa Okuko, had months back been kidnapped by gunmen in his hotel, and was later released after payment of ransom.
