The Nigerian Hunter and Forest Security Service, NHFSS, is collaborating with the Anambra State Government to rescue its forests from unknown gunmen and other criminal elements. The Service has expressed readiness to comb the state forests where innocent citizens are been camp and kidnapped.
The Commander of the NHFSS, Anambra State Command, Destiny Jonas, said it has become necessary following heinous crimes being perpetrated across the state.
NHFSS is ever willing and ready to offer its expertise in securing the forests and bushes both for economic reasons and security purposes.
“Our operations are mostly in the forests and bushes and we know the terrain very well.”
“NHFSS will be most obliged to join forces with other security agencies to ensure the success of the “Operation Udo Ga Di Na Anambra Security Initiative” of the state government intended to rid the hinterlands of criminal elements unleashing terror and mayhem on the people.”
“All that is needed is the collaboration of government agencies and government itself including recognition of the Nigerian Forest Security Service.”
“NHFSS is ready to rescue Anambra forests from unknown gunmen and other criminal elements but the need for recognition and roundtable discussions are of paramount importance”.
Jonas emphasized that NHFSS had been assisting the Police and other security agencies to ensure safety from the tutelage of daredevil gunmen and other criminal minds.
Accordingly, the impassible remote areas like Achala, Igbariam, Nsugbe and some others were hitch free because men of the NHFSS were stationed in those places.
Jonas said that NHFSS had identified some flashpoint bushes across the state where it would declare total war on criminal camps from January 2025.
He said the entire security outfit required was permission from the authorities to enable them launch massive operations in the identified black spots.
The commander disclosed that some kidnapped victims were rescued by the operatives of the NHFSS during the yuletide.
According to him, the plan of NHFSS is to make sure that Anambra forests are free from criminal activities like deforestation, kidnappings and all manner of criminalities.
