The Joint Security Force in Anambra State led by the police, Tuesday, bursted the camp of insurgents at Achalla, Awka North Local Government Area, chasing away the enforcers of sit-at-home orders.
The operation ordered by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Aderemi Adeoye, equally recovered five exotix vehicles believed to have been snatched at gun point, and over 300 rounds of Machine Gun Ammunition and 34 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition for Ak-47 Rifle.
According to the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, the hoodlums sustained injuries with blood strains when their camp was bursted having disrupted trading at Achalla market the previous Monday ordering traders to sit at home.
“This drew attention of the security apparatus in the state which made the State Police Command to decide on giving them a taste of their own medicine in the early hours of Monday 19th February, 2024. The operation which was hugely successful led to the recovery of five exotix 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. The Commissioner of Police has directed that owners of the recovered vehicles be contacted to collect their vehicles. Manhunt for the fleeing insurgents will be extended to hospitals and clinics to ensure they are brought to justice after receiving adequate treatment,” he added.
