Joint security forces, led by the police, have invaded and destroyed a camp set up by criminals known as unknown gunmen in the Nimo community, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

DAILY POST gathered that the criminals set up the camp in a bush called Owa Land, where they kept kidnap victims taken from various parts of the state.

Indigenes of the community who have been fear-stricken have spoken out about the camp, including writing petitions to relevant government agencies.

It was, however, gathered that some members of the community may have aided the criminals in their invasion of the community.

On Christmas Eve, DAILY POST gathered that security agencies, in the very early hours of the morning, stormed the bush, engaging the hoodlums in a shootout that lasted for about two hours.

This was confirmed by the state police command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, in a press release, which added that 19 improvised explosive devices were recovered.

Ikenga said: “In the early hours of December 24, 2024, a joint security operation led by the Nigeria Police Force and comprising the Military, Civil Defence, and Anambra Vigilante operatives successfully dismantled a criminal camp located in Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area.

“The operation resulted in the destruction of several makeshift structures within the camp, the recovery of 19 unexploded improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and significant injuries inflicted on fleeing suspects.

“This decisive action followed credible intelligence on the activities of the criminal gang in the area, coupled with information obtained during the interrogation of suspects arrested in ongoing police operations across the state.”

DAILY POST gathered that the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, commended the synergy between the security agencies and the vigilance of the public in providing actionable intelligence.

He emphasized the importance of continued collaboration to ensure the safety and security of all residents during and after the festive season.

The Commissioner urged all proprietors of private and public hospitals to immediately report patients with bullet wounds or injuries to the nearest police station.

The command also assured the public of its unwavering commitment to maintaining security dominance through sustained patrols and targeted operations aimed at ensuring a peaceful yuletide season for all.

Fleeing suspects? They didn't even kill a single criminal. 2 hours of shootout and they can't kill just one criminal.

Anambra state was actually the den of criminals before Tinubu was sworn in. I like the way Tinubu is taking his time to rid the state of miscreants under the aegis of ESN, UGM, and ipob miscreants.
