Gatekeepers News reports that Tochukwu Ikenga, police spokesman in Anambra, revealed this in a statement on Sunday,
Ikenga noted that the operatives recovered improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from the camp and demobilised the explosives.
The spokesman said one of the lEDs buried around the camp exploded during the operation and had a destructive impact on the road.
He said, “The IED acted as a shield to prevent the Joint Forces from accessing the facility. Meanwhile, no life was lost during the operation.”
