The Anambra State Police Command, Monday, said its operatives had recovered two stolen AK-47 rifles from two police formations in the state many years ago.
One of the rifles was stolen when Zone 13 Headquarters, Ukpo, was attacked by unknown gunmen in 2021, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said.
According to him, “The second rifle was stolen from the Area Command Headquarters, Ogidi, early last year when the formation was attacked by insurgents. Painstaking intelligence gathering by undercover operatives led to uncovering of a location where the arms were hidden at Nnobi, Idemili South LGA of the state.”
CP Aderemi Adeoye, state commissioner of police, commended the operatives for diligence, urging them “not to relent until perpetrators of the attacks which claimed police lives are brought to justice.”
He assured the team that the logistics support they required would be provided until the objectives were achieved.
