By lFEANYI NDUKWE (SAINT), AWKA

In what appears to be one of the most assertive security declarations under the Soludo administration, Prince Ken Emeakayi, Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Security, has issued a bold directive to Agunechemba operatives to take over every criminal hideouts in Anambra and take the fight straight to the perpetrators.

The announcement followed a high-level briefing with the leadership of Agunechemba, a grassroots security outfit increasingly recognized for its growing influence in rural defence operations.

During the meeting, Emeakayi acknowledged the group’s early victories particularly the disruption of youth-driven kidnapping rings that had terrorized several communities.

He described the new operation as a strategic escalation, engineered to “silence the criminals” and dismantle all forest camps used by armed groups. The task, he stressed, is not merely reactive but intentionally offensive.

One of the most distinctive features of the current security drive is the boost in logistics and technology made possible by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

Emeakayi disclosed that Agunechemba now operates with advanced surveillance cameras, earth-moving machinery for dismantling hideouts, enhanced mobility support and coordinated reinforcement from police authorities.

These resources, he said, are clear evidence that the State Government is not treating community security as symbolic but as a priority instrument of public policy.

In a formal statement released from Awka and signed by Comrade Nweke Nweke, Media/Publicity Secretary of Agunechemba, Emeakayi expressed profound appreciation to Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu.

He highlighted the CP’s “unwavering support” and the synergy that has helped displaced residents return safely to their communities after months of violent disruptions.

Emeakayi’s remarks grew notably stern as he addressed parents and guardians whose children may be involved in criminal networks.
He emphasized that the new operational strategy rolled out in this period of Yuletide is designed to flush out criminals with precision.

“We are no longer waiting for kidnappers to strike. We are advancing into their hideouts. If you know your child is hiding in the forest, bring him home. No responsible person chooses to live there,” he warned.

Emeakayi’s leadership style reflects a blend of stern enforcement and humanitarian awareness, spotlighting his reputation for discipline, data-driven coordination, and grassroots consultation.
