A joint security patrol in Anambra State has arrested a man believed to be a member of a proscribed secessionist group, marking a significant breakthrough in the state’s ongoing security operations.
The suspect, identified as Emmanuel Osuigwe, was apprehended on the evening of November 30, 2025, at Amakwa, Ozubulu, by operatives of the Anambra State Police Command attached to the Ozubulu Division, working in collaboration with the Ozubulu Central Vigilante.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, Osuigwe was spotted acting suspiciously and attempting to hide upon noticing the joint patrol team. Officers arrested him immediately, and a search reportedly revealed a handcuff on him and a fresh handcuff wound.
Preliminary interrogation indicated that the suspect claimed membership in a proscribed secessionist group and confessed to recently fleeing from a criminal camp in Ukpor after a dispute with other members.
He is currently in police custody as further investigations continue. Police say he has already provided actionable information aiding ongoing security efforts.
The Anambra State Police Command reiterated its commitment to sustaining security surveillance, visibility policing, and intensified day-and-night patrols across the state.
