The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, has vowed to apprehend the killers of six traders in the Okigwe area of the state.
He assured residents, particularly the traders at the Gariki Market, in the Okigwe Local Government Area of the state of their maximum safety and security.
Danjuma gave this assurance during his visit to Okigwe for an on-the-spot assessment of the market following the unwarranted attack in the area by hoodlums suspected to be members of the proscribed IPOB and ESN.
He expressed sadness over the ugly incident while commiserating with the families of the victims and the market leaders.
He said the police in synergy with the military and the local vigilantes are currently carrying out intensive operations in the area to clamp down on the hoodlums responsible for the senseless violence.
Danjuma urged Okigwe residents to go about their lawful businesses without fear as adequate security measures had been placed to forestall any future occurrence.
He implored them to continue to support the police and other security agencies with intelligence by reporting any suspicious person seen or clandestine activity observed within their vicinity to the nearest police station
