The manhunt for insurgents who recently attacked two Police Stations in Anambra State has been intensified.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, stated that the Joint Security Force in the state has extended the hunt for the gunmen to Obofia Forest, Aguluezuchukwu, and Ogboji areas.
According to Ikenga, on April 2, 2024, the Police-led Forward Operating Base, which is highly mobile, struck the insurgents’ camps in the aforementioned areas.
Insurgents who had deployed at various locations in ambush were engaged in a fierce firefight and were routed from their enclaves, which were subsequently destroyed.
High-calibre ammunition, cartridges, a locally fabricated rocket launcher, Police uniforms, and a Ford Pick-Up Truck without number plates were recovered.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, who ordered the operation, has vowed that it will be sustained until the insurgents are completely routed from Anambra State.
He has charged troops and personnel involved in the operations to sustain the tempo until the state is completely safe from cowardly guerrilla attacks by the insurgents, added the PPRO.
