Police-led joint security force in Aguata LGA on Monday intercepted four suspected ESN Militia in Ufuma, Orumba North LGA of Anambra State.
The arrest according to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Ikechukwu Ikenga (SP) followed information received over time of planned attacks on security agents and innocent citizens by the dreaded group.
“Among the four suspects arrested is one Maduabuchi Nwafor A K A Omenkpo ‘M’ aged 32 years a native of Ufuma. He has been identified as one of the native doctors who prepares criminal charms for the group and uses his shrine for initiation ceremonies and meeting points for the criminals.
“Also, one of the suspects’ name withheld who is already assisting the police with information confessed to be one of the gunmen dispatched by the group to enforce illegal sit-at-home on May 30th, 2024,” the PPRO said.
Meanwhile, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam has ordered investigations to be widened and deepened to identify hideouts of the insurgents seeking to destabilize and truncate development in the State.
He assured Ndi Anambra that the police command under his watch will continue to serve the people selflessly and will jealously protect the sources of its information to protect informers from harm.
