In related development, the Anambra State Police Command said its Joint Security Force had intensified the manhunt for insurgents who attacked two police stations in the state recently.
Some yet-to-be-identified assailants had last Thursday set ablaze the Police Divisional Headquarters in Nneni, Anaocha Local Government Area of state.
The hoodlums invaded the facility in the early hours and threw explosive devices that burnt parts of the building.
But in a statement on Wednesday, the command’s spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, said that based on the attack on the police formations, the joint security force, on the orders of the state Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, raided the hideouts of the gunmen.
Ikenga said the hunt for the gunmen had been extended to Obofia Forest, Aguluezuchukwu, and Ogboji areas.
