Anambra State Joint Security Force has busted an insurgets’ Camp in Achalla, Headquarters of Awka North Local Government Area.

 

The operation ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Aderemi Adeoye took the insurgents by surprise as they fled with gunshot wounds leaving trails of blood.

Also recovered were over three hundred rounds of Machine Gun Ammunition and thirty-four rounds of seven-point-six-two millimeters ammunition for Ak-47 Rifle.

 

All the operatives from various services have returned safely to their base.

 

A release signed by the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, said the Commissioner of Police has directed that owners of the recovered vehicles should be contacted to come forward with proof of ownership to collect their vehicles, saying that manhunt for the fleeing insurgents will be extended to hospitals and clinics with a view to ensuring that they are brought to justice after receiving adequate treatment.
