Police Dismantle Criminal Camp in Nimo, Recover Explosives

Anambra State Police Command, in collaboration with the Military, Civil Defence, and Anambra Vigilante operatives, successfully dismantled a criminal camp located in Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area, on December 24, 2024.

According to DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Spokesperson of the Command, the operation resulted in the destruction of several makeshift structures within the camp and the recovery of 19 unexploded improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and inflicted significant injuries on fleeing suspects. 

This decisive action followed credible intelligence on the activities of the criminal gang in the area, coupled with information obtained during the interrogation of suspects arrested in ongoing police operations across the state.

While emphasizing the importance of collaboration to ensure the safety of residents, the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, urges all proprietors of private and public hospitals to immediately report any individual presenting with bullet wounds or injuries of a suspicious nature to the nearest police station.

“This measure is critical to the ongoing effort to apprehend fleeing suspects and prevent further criminal activity,” he stated.
