Police-Led Joint Security operatives have busted an insurgents’ camp in Achalla, Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

“The operation which was hugely successful led to the recovery of five exotix vehicles previously snatched at gun point.

Also recovered were over 300 rounds of Machine Gun Ammunition and 34 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition for Ak-47 Rifle.

“All operatives from various services  have returned safely to their base.

“The Commissioner of Police has directed that owners of the recovered vehicles be contacted to come forward  with proof of ownership and collect their vehicles.

“Manhunt for the fleeing insurgents will be extended to hospitals and clinics with a view to ensuring they are brought to justice after receiving adequate treatment.”
