A trending video circulating on social media has sparked concern after allegedly showing members of the Agunechemba security outfit assaulting several men in Anambra State.
The footage, which surfaced online on Monday, appears to show armed operatives attacking men dressed in civilian clothing near a fenced compound. Some of the individuals seen in the video were reportedly beaten with machetes and other objects, prompting widespread condemnation from viewers.
Agunechemba is a vigilante security outfit launched by Charles Chukwuma Soludo in early 2025 as part of efforts to combat crime and insecurity in the state.
Following the emergence of the footage, social media users questioned the conduct of the operatives and called on authorities to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The identities of the alleged victims, the location where the incident occurred, and the purpose of the operation have not been independently verified.
The video has also revived discussions about previous allegations involving members of the security outfit. Some observers referenced earlier incidents that reportedly led to disciplinary action against operatives accused of misconduct.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the office of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo nor the police had issued an official statement regarding the viral footage.
The incident has prompted calls for an independent investigation to establish the facts surrounding the video and determine whether any laws or operational procedures were violated.
