Unknown Gunmen Carrying Out Attacks In Anambra ‘100 Per cent Igbo’-Gov  Soludo

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state submitted on Saturday that the  gunmen carrying out attacks in the state are not from other regions but rather  Igbo people.

The suspects arrested so far are according to him  ‘100 per cent Igbo’ , while adding that the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra had distanced itself from the attacks.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned Soludo, a one-time  governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, said this while appearing as a guest on Seun Okinbaloye’s  Politics Today programme on Channels TV.

He however said his administration had put in place several measures to end the menace.

‘They are plain criminals. Some of these criminals also hide under the cloak of agitation but IPOB has repeatedly distanced itself from the criminals.

They are kidnappers and plain criminals and they indulge in these because it is lucrative. Anambra is without a doubt the richest state in the South-East so this is the state where kidnapping has the highest value and so you will have their highest concentration here.

But we are decimating them. They are not unknown gunmen, they are unknown to the extent that maybe are not caught immediately. But I can tell you we’ve been catching quite a lot of them and they already know that Anambra is not safe for them anymore.

Let me be clear about it, 100 per cent of the people we have caught are Igbo. There is no hoax that somebody is invading from somewhere. It is 100 per cent Igbo on Igbo.

Anambra receives its proportional share of an influx of Igbo from other South-East states and other parts of Nigeria. At the initial stage when we stage and the first set of people we caught are Igbo from the South-East states and not from Anambra. But as we went on, we discovered that a whole lot of the young people are joining them and we have not disguised among them, we are dealing with them equally’ he said.

The governor also said several steps and measures  were being  taken   to address security challenges in the state adding that Anambra residents now enjoy relative peace.

‘The 8.5 million residents in Anambra can testify to you that insecurity has come down to the barest minimum. At least, in the last three months, cases of insecurity that seemed to be a daily affair have come to a halt.

We have decimated criminal gangs and their infrastructures and I don’t think they have the capacity again to come with the kind of ferocity they have in the past.

Anambra has been relatively peaceful recently and we are pursuing a peaceful agenda. Compared to many other places in Nigeria, I will say if we have to have the statistics in the last three months, I think Anambra will compete favorably as one of the safest comparatively.

We are not relenting. The operations are ongoing. Many communities are now at peace and having their new yam festival celebrations and these are things that weren’t possible in the past. Millions of events are also taking place simultaneously’ he submitted.

‘It took years for them to take root and build about 15 camps all over the eight local governments. Their activities won’t disappear in three months. But we are not relenting, we are putting in all our efforts and we are determined to make Anambra safe and secure for the residents and businesses’ Soludo added- Team@orientactualmags.com
