Operatives of the Joint Security Team, comprising, Anambra State Police Command and the Anambra State Vigilante, has intensified its offensive operations across the three senatorial districts of the state, achieving significant breakthroughs in Anambra South Senatorial District. The team arrested six suspects linked to armed robbery and vandalism in Oko community and its environs, while declaring a manhunt for a notorious cultist and gunrunner known as “Kiss Me.”
On the evening of May 19, 2025, two suspects, Anagor Chinedu (25) and Anagor Rapuluchukwu (23), were apprehended in Ifite village, Oko. A Beretta pistol was recovered from the duo, who confessed to being members of the Beggars’ Confraternity and identified their armorer as the wanted criminal “Kiss Me.” The Joint Security Team has since launched a manhunt to dismantle the criminal network and apprehend the suspect.
