Anambra Police Report Major Security Breakthroughs: Kidnap Rescue, Arms Seizure and Trafficking Busts
The Anambra State Police Command has announced a series of successful operations against kidnappers, cultists, traffickers and armed secessionist elements across the state. Officers rescued four kidnapped victims, including the Chief Medical Director of Crown Hospital, Nkpor, following a fierce gun battle in Obosi. Two suspects were neutralized and a pistol, machine-gun ammunition, expended rounds and three vehicles were recovered. A separate raid in Owerre-Ezukala uncovered a camp linked to proscribed armed groups. Police seized a GPMG with 2,000 rounds, rocket launchers, improvised explosives, grenades and other weapons before dispersing the criminals.
