 ANAMBRA JOINT SECURITY FORCE EXTENDS  AN OFFENSIVE ONSLAUGHT OPERATION TO A CRIMINAL DEN AT ISSEKE, IHIALA LGA: DESTROYS A LOCAL BOMB FACTORY AND DEMOBILIZES ASSORTED IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

The Joint security team comprising the Police, Military and Operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante on 24th May 2025 extended  Offensive Operations to a criminal Camp at Isseke, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. During the operation, a local bomb factory was destroyed, while assorted locally made  improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were recovered and demobilized.

The Criminal Camp is one of the last strongholds of the secessionist group that was impregnable for over two years which the hoodlums used to wreck havoc in the State.  

It is pertinent to report that one of the IEDs buried around the Camp exploded during the onslaught and created a destructive impact on the road. The IED acted as a shield to prevent the Joint Forces from accessing the facility. Meanwhile, no life was lost during the operation. 

To this end, the security forces have sustained the operational security dominance and advancement aimed at fully reclaiming the area from the criminals.
