The Enugu State Police Command, Sunday night, stated that Ezimo community, the country home of former Force Police Public Relations Officer, DIG Frank Mbah, was not attacked by hoodlums.
There were media reports that DIG Mbah’s house was attacked by suspected kidnappers, allegedly leading to the killing of one of policemen guarding the area.
The clarification was made in a press release issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe.
Ndukwe stated that, “The country home of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Frank Mba, in Ezimo, Udenu Local Government Area, was never attacked, and no attempt was made to kidnap his parents or relatives, as falsely alleged in a viral social media post.
“Contrary to the false report, on 18th September 2025, at about 8pm, police operatives on routine patrol within the Ezimo community promptly responded to a distress call and repelled an armed robbery attack. Sadly, a police officer who sustained gunshot injuries during the ensuing shootout later died in the hospital, where he was confirmed dead by the attending doctor.”
Ndukwe added that one male suspect was arrested and “is assisting the police in the ongoing discreet investigation and manhunt for the fleeing suspects”.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Bitrus Giwa, has urged operatives to sustain the lead already established towards apprehending the fleeing suspects.
He also reiterated the commitment of the command to combating isolated cases of violent crimes in Enugu State.
