Corps member’s assault: Soludo sacks vigilantes, orders prosecution
The Anambra State Government has dismissed eight operatives of the Agunechemba Security outfit over the brutal assault and public stripping of a female corps member, Miss Jennifer Elobor.
The Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Ken Emeakayi, disclosed this at the agency’s headquarters in Awka on Wednesday.
Emeakayi said the government acted swiftly after receiving reports of the incident, adding that the operatives would be handed over to the police for prosecution.
According to him, the dismissed officers were in pursuit of suspected cultists on Tuesday, when they attacked the corps member, an action he described as “totally outside the mandate of the agency and utterly condemnable.”
