Anambra Police Arrest Two Suspects Supplying Food and Logistics to Armed Groups Behind Killings, Kidnappings The Anambra State Police Command has arrested two suspected members of a logistics network accused of supplying food and essential items to an armed criminal group linked to secessionist activities across Ihiala, Nnewi South, and Aguata. The suspects—Mmadubuchi Ike and Chinonso Izunobi—were apprehended during a raid on December 11. Police say they provided support to a camp responsible for kidnappings, targeted killings, and recent violent attacks, including the murder of a local youth leader. Security operatives recovered firearms and ammunition during the operation as authorities intensify efforts to curb rising insecurity ahead of the festive season. #AnambraSecurity #PoliceArrests #SoutheastInsecurity

Amnesty International Condemns Deadly Gunmen Attack on Anambra Church, Demands Probe of Security Failures Amnesty International has condemned the gruesome attack on St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Lilu, Anambra State, where armed men killed the cleric’s wife and another victim during a Sunday invasion. The rights group urged authorities to launch a transparent, impartial investigation into the killings and the security lapses that allowed the attack, noting that a government-deployed security base was located within the church premises. Amnesty further warned that rising violent activities by armed groups across the South-East have turned several communities into ungoverned spaces, stressing that federal and state governments must prioritise civilian protection and dismantle criminal networks. #AmnestyInternational #AnambraAttack #SouthEastInsecurity
