The Anambra State Government has dismissed eight operatives of the Agunechemba Security outfit for assaulting and stripping a female corps member, Miss Jennifer Elobor, in public.
The Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Ken Emeakayi, announced the decision at the agency’s headquarters in Awka on Wednesday.
He said the action followed reports of the incident, stressing that the operatives would be handed over to the police for prosecution.
Emeakayi explained that the officers had been on a chase for suspected cultists on Tuesday when they attacked the corps member, describing their conduct as “totally outside the mandate of the agency and utterly condemnable.
