Joint Security Team comprising troops from the 302 Artillery Regiment (GS), Naval Command, Department of State Security, Anambra State Police Command and Vigilante successfully dislodged a criminal Camp at Ogbunka forest in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to an official report of the operation shared by the Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Joint Security Team engaged the criminals in a gun battle that lasted about six (6) hours.
However, the Joint Security Team prevailed due to its superior firepower. The team, according to Ikenga, also diffused some explosives used as shields on the camp by the hoodlums.
“The team also recovered a lot of relief materials like pots, foodstuffs and parts of dismembered suspected stolen vehicles even as some of the criminals escaped with various degrees of bullet injuries inflicted on them.
“The Operatives have taken over the area to sustain security dominance aimed at addressing any untoward situation that may arise and to possibly arrest the fleeing suspects”, the Police Spokesman disclosed, even as he assures of the commitment of the security operatives to enhance the protection of lives and properties in the state.
