No Herdsmen Gun Cache In Anambra – Police

 

Police in Anambra state recently, dismissed as untrue report alleging that a gun cache belonging to herdsmen was discovered at Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.

The Police spokesperson in the state, Haruna Mohammed, in a statement, asked members of the public to disregard the story, describing it as figment of imagination of mischief makers.

There was palpable tension in the area on Saturday following the story claiming that a cache of guns reportedly kept by herdsmen for a possible attack was discovered by some children who went to fetch firewood in the area.
