According to eyewitnesses, the suspects had been patrolling the streets of Achalla dressed in uniforms and brandishing counterfeit SASA (Ndi Akudo) identity cards. Their activities reportedly included harassment, intimidation, and extortion of residents, prompting multiple complaints to local authorities.
Reacting to the arrests, the Director-General of SASA, Hon. Monday Nwokoye Onwe, strongly condemned the impersonation, describing it as a criminal act that undermines the legitimacy and credibility of the state’s anti-touting efforts.
“We have no record of any authorized SASA (Ndi Akudo) operation in Achalla. The power to create or deploy any anti-touting formation lies solely with the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo,” Nwokoye stated.
He further revealed that the arrested individuals were reportedly using dangerous weapons during their illegal operations.
