The Agunechemba Security Squad is n Anambra state has denied manhunt for the gunmen loyal to the jailed Simon Ekpa contending that it’s main interest is to restore peace and rule of law in the 179 Communities in the area.
Though their spokesperson, Nweke Nweke Agunechemba had clarified that they have never worked with any group to conduct a manhunt against any individual it further reiterated that they are not after them.
The community security outfit maintains a steady cooperative relationship with other security agencies in tackling insecurity in Anambra State and warns against statements that could distract their operatives from their main focus.
“Agunechemba’s mission is to assist established security agencies in maintaining peace, law, and order across the state”
” Our activities are not related to any court ruling against anyone, and we adhere to a strict code of conduct that prohibits targeting individuals or groups based on judicial outcomes.
He noted that while the community security outfit supports youth initiatives, aimed at identifying and addressing criminal elements, the youths are expected to be careful and avoid falsely accusing innocent individuals and should not involve an organization with a defined mandate in their plans.
“Community policing is the responsibility of everyone, and if the youth are eager to identify bad elements in their areas, they should seek support from both the state government and law enforcement agencies while being mindful not to implicate innocent people. They should not drag Agunechemba into their private arrangements,” the PRO remarked.
“We are not aiming at any specific demographic; our primary goal is to ensure law and order, which is independent of any judicial verdicts.” “Community policing is fundamentally everyone’s responsibility, and if the youth are eager to identify wrongdoers in their areas, they should learn how to pursue this without associating their intentions with Agunechemba or involving Agunechemba in their personal affairs,” Nweke stated .
