We’re Ready to Flush Out the Unknown Gunmen and Bandits – Forest Guards Hot After Intensive Training
The newly‑trained Enugu State Forest Guard says it’s primed to eradicate the “unknown gunmen” and bandit groups that have been terrorising communities. After a rigorous training programme, the guards are confident they can reclaim the state’s forests from kidnappers and insurgents .
The federal government has already approved the creation of a nationwide forest‑guard force, with plans to hire and equip thousands of officers to tackle terrorists and bandits hiding in forest reserves ¹. In line with that, Enugu’s governor, Dr Peter Mbah, recently appointed battle‑tested officers to lead the state’s forest guard, aiming to boost professionalism and effectiveness in the crackdown .
The guards’ message, aired on AladaluTv underscores a new, aggressive stance: “We are ready to eradicate the unknown gunmen and bandits in Enugu State.” The intensive training and fresh leadership are being framed as a turning point in the state’s fight against rural insecurity.
