Operatives of Rapid Response Squad, Akwuzu, invaded a bush at Ifite Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, and found a mini-factory, where gunmen produce clothes, especially Police and Army uniforms.

The place was also the hoodlums’ home, from where they launched attacks wearing the security agents’ uniforms.

Items discovered at the site included a multipurpose sewing machine, ready-to-wear police and military uniforms, food items and cooking utensils, as well as charms they believed, protected them.
