While one was gunned down at Oko, Orumba North local government Area of the State another was killed at Oba in idemili south local government Area, Anambra People reports.
Oko has recently become the hotbed of incessant attacks by the hoodlums. People live in fear in the polytechnic Town.
The gunman killed at Oko was identified as a former vigilante who was part of a 4 man gang who have been involved in high profile killings and kidnapping around the area.
They had entered Oko through Nanka for a kidnap operation and almost succeeded but for the prompt intervention of the police special force acting on a tip- off which engaged them in gun battle.
While one of them was killed others escaped with various degree of injuries.
Police also raided the hideout of a deadly gang terrorising Oba community and environs, arrested some of the hoodlums who have held the state to ransome. They also killed one of the notorious terrorists disturbing the area.
The commissioner of police Anambra state, Mr Echeng Echeng recently in a press interview promised to make Anambra state uncomfortable for gunmen who have continued to terrorise the State.
