In a major breakthrough against criminal activities, the Anambra Joint Security Task Force conducted a successful raid early this morning at a notorious hideout for kidnappers and unidentified gunmen (UGM) in Owerre-Ezukala.

The operation, which commenced at around 3:30 a.m., led to the arrest of several suspected terrorists and the dismantling of a criminal stronghold that has long posed a threat to peace and security in the area.

Sources within the task force described the mission as meticulously planned and swiftly executed, with no casualties reported on the side of the security team. Weapons and other dangerous items were reportedly recovered during the raid.
This decisive action is seen as a significant step in restoring peace and stability to the local government and, by extension, Anambra State.

The commendable progress has been attributed to the leadership of Governor Charles Soludo, fondly referred to as the “Solution Governor” for his proactive approach to tackling security challenges in the state.

Under his administration, Anambra has witnessed intensified security measures, including increased collaboration among various security agencies and community-driven intelligence gathering. The latest raid underscores the government’s commitment to making Anambra a safe and peaceful state once again.

Residents of Owerre-Ezukala have expressed relief and gratitude for the operation, calling it a much-needed intervention to curb rising criminal activities. Community leaders have urged continued vigilance and cooperation with security forces to ensure that the gains achieved are sustained.

As Anambra continues its journey toward peace and stability, today’s successful operation serves as a beacon of hope for citizens who yearn for a return to the state’s former glory as a haven of safety and development. Authorities have promised to release more details as investigations into the arrests unfold.
