Count Agunaechemba Out on Manhunt against Ekpa's Men, PRO

 

*PRESS STATEMENT* 

The community security outfit Agunechemba in Anambra State has responded to a report circulating in both mainstream and social media about a supposed request from certain youths for collaboration in patrolling border towns. They have described this report as misleading and a potential distraction from their primary role of aiding federal security agencies in fighting crime within the state.

Through their spokesperson, Nweke Nweke, Agunechemba clarified that they have never worked with any group to conduct a manhunt against any individual. 

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.

The spokesperson emphasized that community policing is a collective effort. 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," the PRO commented.
