The Enugu State Police Command on Sunday commenced the raid of black spots and forests areas in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area to rid it of hoodlums and their activities.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement on Tuesday that the state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Danmallam Mohammed, ordered the security raid.
The statement said that the police within few days of the operation arrested 15 hoodlums that had been disturbing the peace of people in the council, especially in Nimbo and Adani communities.
According to him, Mohammed ordered the operation after an on-the-spot assessment and a thorough brainstorming involving senior police officers and critical security stakeholders.
“The command has assured members of the public particularly the good people of Nimbo and Adani communities of Uzo Uwani local government area of their safety.
“This assurance followed the command’s renewed onslaught against crime and criminality in the area borne out of intelligence information.
“No fewer than 15 suspects have been nabbed in the area after the raid of a certain forest identified as ”Malaysia” forest and other black spots that were alleged to be harbouring hoodlums,’’ it said.
