* Sets up appeal fund for victims
Piqued by the colossal failure of the State Fire Service to
combat the fire that gutted Ochanja Market on Wednesday, Governor
Willie Obiano has announced his resolve to grant the Anambra State
Fire Service an agency status.
By granting the Fire Service greater autonomy, which however, is
subject to the approval by the Anambra State House of Assembly,
Obiano said he intends to make it independent of the state Ministry
of Public Utilities or any other ministry.
The governor has also opened a bank account, ‘Anambra State
Victims Support Account,’ to assist the fire victims following
alleged request by people seeking to be of assistant to the victims
of the fire incident.
Disclosing this, the State Commissioner for Information and
Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba said the fund would be
administered by the trustees of Anambra State Security Trust Fund
led by the Chairman of Chisco Group, Chief Chidi Anyaegbu.
Adinuba who urged Anambra indigenes, friends, in laws and
well-wishers to give generously to their brothers and sisters who
were now in dire need of assistance said: “The government is
grateful to these people and many others who are moved by the
tragedy. Truly, we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers.
“Governor Willie Obiano has, therefore, opened a bank account to
assist the fire victims. It is known as the Anambra State Victims
Support Account. The account number is 5030105029, Fidelity Bank
Plc.
“It is to be administered by the distinguished sons and
daughters of our state who serve as trustees of the Anambra State
Security Trust Fund led by Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, Chairman of Chisco
Group.”
On the repositioning of the fire service he said: “Meanwhile,
Governor Willie Obiano has initiated a move to grant the Anambra
State Fire Service greater autonomy. Subject to approval by the
Anambra State House of Assembly, the law setting up the state Fire
Service will be amended to make it independent of the state
Ministry of Public Utilities or any other ministry.
“The autonomy will free it from unnecessary bureaucratic
encumbrances and enable it to respond more effectively to the
challenges of its mandate.
“Consequently, the agency will have as its Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer Air Vice Marshall Ben Chiobi, who is
currently the Special Adviser to the Anambra State Governor on
Creative Security as well as Coordinator of the Anambra State
Integrated Security System.”

VIDEO: NAF Deploys Ground Attack Aircraft Against Boko
Haram Rendezvous
Video: https://youtu.be/7BXJiIKMjMY
The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has
obliterated a Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) meeting venue and
neutralized several of their fighters at Ngoske on the fringes of
the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
The attack was executed today, 18 October 2019, following
successive days of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) missions, which were aimed at identifying locations housing
the BHTs’ leadership as well as their rendezvous positions.
Intelligence derived from the ISR missions led to the
designation of 2 buildings within Ngoske that served as assembly
areas for the terrorists from where they launch attacks against own
troops positions and innocent civilians.
Accordingly, the ATF detailed its ground attack aircraft to
engage the hideout, scoring devastatingly accurate hits which led
to the complete destruction of the 2 buildings as well as the
neutralization of several terrorists.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
