On Sunday, gunmen invaded the community of former Anambra Governor Chief Willie Obiano, resulting in heavy shootings.
Following the clash between security personnel and gunmen in the area, 15 people have been arrested.
Around 11 a.m., gunmen stormed Aguleri in Anambra East local government area and opened fire.
Though no one was killed, some people were injured during the shootings, which lasted for some time.
Ikenga Tochukwu, an Anambra Police Relations Officer, confirmed the incident.
However, he stated that no officers were injured.
