One of the hoodlums operating as unknown gunmen in Anambra State has confessed that he had already killed four persons, including two policemen and two civilians, since he joined the notorious gang.

The gunman nicknamed ’50’ was apprehended inside a forest at Ukpor in Nnewi-South Local Government Area of the state along with other members of his gang, by security operatives.

The security operatives had on Friday stormed the camp and arrested some of the unknown gunmen and subsequently destroyed their camp. 

Items recovered during the raid included assorted arms and ammunition, police and military uniforms, a coffin containing charms and various kinds of drugs.

The apprehended ’50’ stated that although several people had been killed inside the camp, including those whose relations already paid ransom, he personally did not killed more than four persons.

According to him, the last person he killed before their camp was destroyed was at the instance of their leader who ordered him to kill the man because he was labelled a saboteur.

He said that their leader, Ezemuo, now at large, was doing most of the killing, along with the late Double Lion, who was recently killed in Ihiala.

He said: “Some of the people we killed was because they were accused of monitoring us and acting as informants. The two policemen I killed were in Ozubulu.

“Our commander, Ezemuo, from Imo State, has run away, while Virus, who is the second in command, has escaped to Lagos and his house at Ozubulu has been burnt down”.
