Obosi community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State has declared war against criminals.

The community has been a hotbed for crime, especially drug and cult related activities, and has witnessed several killings, including the gruesome murder of a former President General.

The Central Executive Council of the community’s leadership, Obosi Development Union (ODU), on Wednesday embarked on a one-day awareness campaign to express readiness to secure their land.

Residents turned out in large numbers to march round the community.

Leaders of the community warned criminal elements to amend their ways or leave the town for their own safety

President General, Barr Chimezie Obi, who addressed members of the community, stated that the campaign was prompted by numerous crimes and other atrocities that have dented the image of the town and its people.
