Obiano’s Operation Kpochapu Foil Bank Robbery Attempt in Awka

 

A gang of armed robbers who made a desperate attempt to rob a new generation bank along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway were forcefully repelled by men of the dreaded Operation Kpochapu, the special anti-crime unit of the Anambra State Police Command who gunned down the leader of the suspected criminals in a gun battle.

The robbery gang had struck at about 2.am on Friday night when it imagined that the police would have lost vigilance but were surprised when the police made a dramatic swoop on them. Stunned by the sudden appearance of the police on the scene, the robbers opened fire to blast their way out of the scene but the men of Operation Kpochapu replied in self-defense, killing their leader who was later identified as Izu, a notorious armed robber whose men had been behind many raids on churches in Anambra State in the last few years.

Willie Effect Takes Hold of Ndi Anambra

 

There is a palpable sense of expectation in Anambra State. The surreal feeling can be felt in the renewed spring in the stride of Ndi Anambra everywhere you find them in the surface of the earth, irrespective of political affiliations. It is a sense of pride and fulfilment borne out of the people’s re-discovery and belief in their state’s growth and prospects. In a re-enactment of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, there is a new found ‘can do spirit’ enveloping the heartland of the Igbo race. In the street parlance of the yuppies, it is called ‘swag’.

The evidence is there to behold by the discerning. How could anyone miss the evolving phenomenon – the gradual return of the exciting times across Anambra State? Though still muted, it literarily hits you once you cross the Niger Bridge approaching Upper Iweka axis. In fact, the feeling is gradually sipping across the state like kerosene flowing on a path paved with gravel. Indeed, a sense of the return of the good times is percolating the state and is set to burst to the surface in due course, all thanks to the Willie effect.
