According to the publicity secretary of Agunechemba, Mr Nweke Nweke “This success story is on the account of intelligence gathering and undercover operations of the outfit at major security flashpoints in Anambra South Senatorial District in the last few days.” He added that the handover of the weapons took place on Saturday at the office of Agunechemba’s Director of Operations in Awka and was led by Chief Chinenye Ihenko.

Ihenko hailed the operatives for their success, noting that they suffered no casualties despite coming under attack from armed gunmen. He described that the operation was one of their greatest achievements without any losses.

“We express appreciation to Governor Chukwuma Soludo for the support provided to Agunechemba, which has invigorated our efforts to reclaim areas previously dominated by criminals, particularly in Orumba North and South, Ihiala, and Ogbaru LGAs,” he said.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo over the operations of the Agunechemba Security Squad and that the army will come together with Agunechemba to fight criminality in the state.

The event ended with the formal handover of two General Purpose Machine Guns and a locally made rocket launcher, followed by an exchange of pleasantries among personnel of the Nigerian Army, Agunechemba leadership and members of the Anambra State House of Assembly.
