The Joint Task force led by Assistant Commissioner of Police in-charge of Operations, AC Ops Joseph Agugoesi , yesterday morning raided the notorious Mkpukpa forest by Chidera road Okpoko, near Onitsha arresting miscreants purportedly troubling he peace of Onitsha residents.

At the forest , www.odogwublog.com gathered strange discoveries were made including shallow graves with one containing a two weeks old baby that was still fresh, all sorts of bags and school bags allegedly snatched from passers bye and students thinking they were carrying money.

Other items discovered in the forest were shrines of different colour and hue as well as shanties meant to be residents of the miscreants purportedly disturbing the peace of the state.

The shrines and shanties were pulled down by the bulldozers and leveled by the joint task force comprising of all the security agents in the state comprising the Navy, Military, Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defense (NSCD) as well as the Nigerian Custom.

They arrested five miscreants but later released them after discovering they were not the main target with a warning to sin no more and shun the forest unless they have genuine reasons to be there even as the police has called on all the miscreants in the state including unauthorized groups to ensure peace or vacate the state as nothing unlawful from them would be tolerated.

When contacted , the Anambra state Police command PPRO , Uche Ezeh confirmed the raid , insisting that the raid was to weed off the unwanted elements in the state to avoid being used to cause confusion in the state during the February elections.  

He said the raid is ongoing but refused to comment further on the discoveries in the forest adding,’’ we would brief the press on that ‘ but I can confirm to you we arrested five people and later released them  with a warning to sin no more since they were not the main targets of the raid.

He said the raid has exposed what was going on in the forest and they would be more vigilance now around that zone even as he confirmed also that the shanties and shrines in the forest were destroyed by the police bulldozer.

But www.odogwublog.com, can authoritatively report that the shallow graves were real and discovered with one containing a two weeks old baby.
