FIC Report (Anambra State) – The Anambra State Government, through the Agunechemba Security Command, has dismissed eight of her Operatives for their involvement in the brutal assault and public stripping of a corps member, Miss Jennifer Elobor.
Speaking at the Agency Headquarters at Awka, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community security, Mr. Ken. Emeakayi, said that the state government acted swiftly after receiving report that the operatives, while in pursuit of suspected cultists assaulted corps members, an action which he stated that it was totally outside the mandate of the Agency and utterly condemnable.
Mr Emeakayi stressed that the Soludo administration will not tolerate any form of unprofessional actions, brutality and abuse of office by security operatives, assuring that any officer found guilty of misconduct will face immediate dismissal and prosecution.
He disclosed that despite pleas from the victim’s family and NYSC officials not to prolong prosecution for damaging the identity of the people involved, the Anambra State Government insisted on full investigation and accountability to serve as deterrence.
The special Adviser further revealed that, the Agency has already settled all medical bills of the corps members, replaced damaged valuables such as laptops and phones and have tendered public apology to the victim’s family, NYSC, and the general public.
Mr Emeakayi reiterated the government resolve to reform community security operatives in the state, emphasizing that Governor Soludo’s administration is committed to upholding professionalism, accountability and respect for human right in all security engagements.
He assured that the incident will be used as a turning point to strengthen discipline and restore public trust in the Agunechemba outfit.
