A police inspector from the 29 Police Mobile Force in Awka has been killed during a clash with DSS operatives in Uli, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The incident happened around yesterday in the evening, during a stop-and-search operation along the Onitsha/Owerri Expressway, near Danaks Filling Station.
According to reports, the police stopped a Toyota Sienna driving on the wrong lane, not knowing it belonged to DSS officials.
