CRIME: POLICE BURST INSURGENTS’ CAMP IN ANAMBRA
The police-led joint security force has burst a camp suspected to be harbouring insurgents in Achalla, Awka North local government area of Anambra State.
It was gathered that the operation was ordered by the state Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye and the insurgents were taken by surprise, as they fled with gunshot wounds, leaving trails of blood.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga said the hoodlums had disrupted trading at the popular Achalla Market on Monday as they ordered the traders to sit at home. According to Ikenga, this drew the attention of the security operatives in the state, which made the state Police command “to decide on giving them a taste of their own medicine”.
Ikenga added: “The operation, which was hugely successful, led to the recovery of five exotic vehicles previously snatched at gun point.“Also recovered were over 300 rounds of machine gun ammunition and 34 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition for Ak-47 rifle.
All operatives from various services have returned safely to their base.
“The Commissioner of Police has directed that owners of the recovered vehicles be contacted to come forward with proof of ownership and collect their vehicles.
“Manhunt for the fleeing insurgents will be extended to hospitals and clinics with a view to ensuring they are brought to justice after receiving adequate treatment.”
