The Anambra State Association of Town Union (ASATU), has appealed to governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo to conscript the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service (NHFSS) into the state security structure.
The appealed was made during the association’s peaceful/thank -you solidarity match in Awka, on Wednesday.
According to the National President of ASATU, Barrister Titus Akpudo, who spoke to Journalists shortly after the match, said the involvement of NHFSS will serve as another credible alternative in providing watertight security in the villages and communities because they are synonymous with the forests.
He noted that the Hunters and Forest Security Service (NHFSS) will work in synergy with the Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), to comb troubled communities in the state especially communities in Anambra-South region as no other security outfits could understand or speak the language of the forests better than hunters and the AGV respectively.
