Anambra State Joint Security Force led by the police has bursted 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.

A statement by DSP Tochuwu Ikenga, PPRO Anambra Command, said the hoodlums had disrupted trading at Achalla Market on Monday 12th February 2024 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 statement said that operation, which was hugely successful, led to the recovery of five exotic 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.
