The Anambra State Police Command has made headlines after the dramatic capture of Oluchukwu Anyaoku, a man whose alarming video threatening police establishments has gone viral. This shocking incident unfolded in Obosi, a town in the Idemili North Local Government Area, stirring up a whirlwind of concern and outrage across the state.
In a swift and decisive response, police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga revealed that Anyaoku was tracked down and arrested shortly after the disturbing footage gained traction online. Officers from the Obosi Division acted with lightning speed, apprehending Anyaoku on Tuesday and seizing a firearm and a cutlass from him, highlighting the potential danger he posed.
Ikenga stated, โThe Anambra State Police Command is taking no chances. We arrested Oluchukwu Anyaoku after he went on a violent tirade in a viral video, threatening to obliterate police formations in Obosi.โ The urgency of their actions reflects the police's commitment to combatting any attempts of intimidation and violence against law enforcement.
Adding another layer to this story, Ikenga mentioned that Anyaoku might need a professional medical evaluation, suggesting there could be deeper issues at play. Meanwhile, the investigation has been escalated to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka, where experts will dig deeper into the case.
But that's not all,another suspect, Emmanuel Osuigwe, was apprehended in a separate operation, suspected to have ties to a banned secessionist group. He was caught during a high-stakes police raid in Ozubulu, further emphasizing the urgent need for security crackdowns in the region. Ikenga confirmed Osuigwe's arrest followed his fleeing from a hideout after a fallout with fellow group members.
These arrests come as part of a broader initiative by Commissioner of Police Ikioye Orutugu, who is intensifying security measures and raid operations to maintain order and safety throughout Anambra State.
