"We also smashed the insurgent camp in Ogbunka Community Orumba South local government area last Saturday " 

"We started the operations that led to the crack down some two months ago and it was based on an intelligence report that they were trying to kidnap a Divisional Police Officer DPO in the area"



",We commenced investigation to ensure that no innocent life was lost and we made some arrests and interrogated them and the clue laid us to the camp which was smashed last Friday "

He noted that the command cannot release findings from its preliminary investigation as it would jeopardize the man hunt for the suspects.

Meanwhile the Inspector General of Police has given amnesty to those with guns illegally adding that after the period of amnesty any one found to have guns in his custody would face the wrath of the law.



Confirming this development Adeoye noted that there was no stipulated time when the amnesty would end but urged members of the pubic to turn in their guns to the nearest Police station and that DPOs and Area Commanders have been directed not to arrest or intimidate anyone that came to hand over those guns .
