The state police public relations officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said troops of the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police routed the hoodlums from their hideouts in the forest.
He said, “Several camps were found and destroyed during the operation which lasted several hours. Nine improvised explosive devices (IEDs) recovered from the camps were safely defused by Police Bomb Squad.”
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, commended the military for its steadfastness in supporting the fight against criminality.
He also thanked the DSS, NSCDC, NDLEA, NIS and various vigilante groups across the state for the synergy that is yielding results in keeping Anambra State Safe.
