NSCDC partner hunters to combat insecurity in Anambra
Earlier in his remarks, the Anambra State Commander of Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Services, Titus Ogudogwo, said the association, despite waiting for the signing of the bill establishing it, has been rendering a series of auxiliary services to the country through collaboration with existing relevant security agencies to strengthen the internal security system.
Ogudogwo said signing the bill into law will give the association the legal backing to chase criminals from the forests. “As hunters, we are present in all the nooks and crannies of our forests and you will agree with me that some of these social enemies — the criminals — have made the forest their place of hibernation.
“We are patiently waiting for our bill to be signed into law to empower us to flush criminal elements out of our ungoverned spaces, which are mainly the forests, bushes, and farmlands,” Ogudogwo added. He applauded the state commandant and the command for their resilience in restoring peace and normalcy in the state.All rights reserved.
