Not less than 700 suspected cultists and 38 suspected armed robbers were arrested in different parts of Anambra in the last three weeks.
Garba Umar, the state commissioner of police, said, “ This number of arrests within three weeks to me was unprecedented and we will sustain the tempo until we flush out all the bad eggs in the state,’’ the police recovered several types of arms and ammunition from the suspects. The commissioner said that some of the suspects had been arraigned, while the command was still investigating cases leveled against others.

“I personally patrol some of these locations to ensure efficient operations. I am not an arm chair police commissioner.

“I move round myself to make sure that things are done the right way for security of lives and property of residents,” Umar said. Umar warned those who were in the habit of operating in offices and residential houses, especially around the Government House, Awka axis, to desist.

He said that the command had set its dragnet in every location in the state; especially Awka, the capital, and that any person or group caught would be severely dealt with.
