RULAAC Raises Alarm Over Violent Home Invasion in Anambra
The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) expressed serious concerns regarding the violent invasion of Jude Anokwu's residence in Udezu Village, Achalla, Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State, on October 17, 2026. Armed men, believed to include personnel from the Anambra State security outfit, Operation Udogachi, reportedly vandalized Anokwu's home, destroyed CCTV installations, and removed his vehicle and personal belongings.
The operation was allegedly led by Chijioke Ekwelie, known as "Sese Kolombo." During the incident, Anokwu's gatekeeper, identified as Chibuzo, was reportedly shot by an armed security personnel named Atanda, with his current location and condition unknown. Anokwu was taken away along with several friends who were visiting him, and they are currently detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka.
RULAAC noted that this incident is linked to Anokwu's previous arrest on July 24, 2025, related to a long-standing land dispute.
