The Anambra State Police Command conducted raids on criminal hideouts across the state, resulting in the arrest of at least 65-year-old secessionist member Ifeanyi Ogbuagbo and six other suspects. The Violent Crime Response Unit carried out the operation on Thursday, following directives from the Inspector-General of Police. The search operation took place in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area, and Umudioka, Dinukofia LGA of Anambra State.
Among the items recovered were an Army uniform, expended shells of ammunition, pistols, and cult caps. The suspects arrested include Chisom Okafor, Onyedika Moses, Iruka Nwaonu, Joseph Nwankwo, Chukwujekwu Nwoso, and Akanimo Orok, ranging in age from 25 to 40 years. The recovered items are suspected to be linked to a criminal gang advocating for self-governance.
The Anambra State Command will continue its intelligence-led operations and strategic raids to dismantle criminal networks, disrupt illicit drug activities, and deny criminals safe havens in the state.
