Anambra State Joint Security Force has burst an insurgents’ Camp in Achalla, Headquarters of Awka North LGA of Anambra State.
The operation ordered by the Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye took the insurgents by surprise as they fled with gunshot wounds leaving trails of blood.
The hoodlums had disrupted trading at Achalla Market the previous Monday ordering traders to sit at home. This drew the attention of the Security Apparatus in the State which made the State Police Command decide to give them a taste of their own medicine in the early hours of Monday 19th February, 2024.
The hugely successful operation led to the recovery of five exotic vehicles previously snatched at gunpoint.
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.
The manhunt for the fleeing insurgents will be extended to hospitals and clinics to ensure they are brought to justice after receiving adequate treatment.
