In the hunt for gunmen who attacked two Police Stations at Awgbu in Orumba North and Neni in Anaocha Local Government Areas in the last two weeks, Police-Led Joint Security Force has been ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Anambra state, Mr Aderemi Adeoye to identify and destroy any camp being used by insurgents to launch attacks within the Command.
In a release signed by the Anambra State Police Public Relation’s Officer, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, said that police had previously destroyed two such camps, one in Ogbunka, Orumba South sand in Achalla, Awka North Local Government Areas.
The Joint Security Force raided the forests of Ogbunka in Orumba South and found scattered camps of the insurgents who fled in the face of the onslaught as six Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs already primed for attacks and two Walkie Talkies were recovered from the Camps.
Also recovered were substantial food and groceries and the camps were subsequently destroyed to deny the insurgents bases for launching attacks.
The raid on the forests in search of insurgents and their camps is still ongoing with a view to eliminating the terrorists, rescuing abducted victims and recovering firearms and stolen vehicles in their possession.
Meanwhile Mr Adeoye has sent warm greetings to Ndi Anambra at Easter celebration which comes today and prayed that the Peace of Christ which passes all understanding reigns across the length and breadth of the State.
He assured Ndi Anambra that the Police Command under his watch will continue to serve the people selflessly, despite the risks involved as he urged all citizens to cooperate with the Police in identifying hideouts of insurgents seeking to destabilize Anambra and truncating development.
