Anambra State Joint Security has extended its manhunt for criminals attacking security formations in the State to Ogbaru forest.
A statement by Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra Command, Tochukwu Ikenga, indicates that locations around Amiyi, Ochuche and several other camps were found and destroyed during the operation which lasted several hours as troops of the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Navy lent considerable firepower to the operation which completely routed the hoodlums from their hideouts in the forest.
According to the statement, items recovered from the destroyed camps included walkie talkies, and 9 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) which were safely defused by Police Bomb Squad.
The Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye commended the Military for their steadfastness in supporting the fight against criminality.
He also thanked the DSS, NSCDC, NDLEA, NIS and various Vigilante Groups across the State for the wonderful synergy that is yielding fantastic results in keeping Anambra State Safe.
The Police Boss warned cultists running amok in the State Capital to be aware that their days are numbered saying security agencies will not fold their arms and watch them destabilize the State in the name of cult rivalry.
