Jonas said expressed expressed readiness of NFSS operatives to collaborate with the Anambra Government to rescue its forests from unknown gunmen and other criminal elements. According to him, operatives of the NFSS will be deployed to comb all the forests in the state where killers and kidnappers of innocent citizens had their camps and hideouts. The NFSS Command spoke against the background of recent kidnap of a lawmaker, an Anglican clergy and the killing of a Catholic priest in the state. He said the recent brutal killings of eight persons in Chigbonu village in Umuike Ubahuekwem in Ihiala on Dec. 30, 2024 by daredevil gunmen as well as other heinous crimes being perpetrated across the state, required synergy with forest security service.
