DIG Frank Mba’s Country Home Not Attacked – Enugu Police

Police in Enugu State have denied a viral social media post alleging that the country home of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Frank Mba, in Ezimo, Udenu Local Government Area, was attacked and his parents or relatives targeted for kidnapping.

A statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Daniel Ndukwe, said the report was false.

The statement stated that on September 18, 2025, police operatives only responded to a distress call and repelled an armed robbery attack in the Ezimo community, DIG Mbah’s community. “During the shootout, a police officer sustained gunshot injuries and later died in the hospital.”

The statement noted that one male suspect had been apprehended and is assisting the police in the ongoing discreet investigation and manhunt for the fleeing suspects.

The Commissioner of Police, Mamman Giwa, according to the statement, urged operatives to sustain the lead already established towards apprehending the suspects.

“The command remains unwavering in its commitment to combating violent crimes in Enugu State,” Giwa said as quoted in the statement.

The police urged the public to disregard the false report and appreciate their efforts in maintaining law and order in the state.
