Governor of Anambra state, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has said that the hoodlums perpetrating the violent activities in the state are not fighting for their agitations but have decided to make kidnapping and killing a lucrative criminal enterprise in the state.
The governor stated this while addressing the people of the Diocese of Aguata where he was special guest of honour at the 2nd Session of the 6th Synod of the Church of Nigeria, Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, Diocese of Aguata, Anglican Communion, Anambra State on Monday, May 30.
Governor Soludo said his government has declared a state of emergency on security and roads, adding that his administration will not relent in restoring peace and security in the state.
“The criminals terrorising the people of the state had for almost three years held sway in most of the local government areas in the southern part of the state.
The evil criminals now see kidnapping and killing as a lucrative criminal enterprise. It is no longer about liberation movement agitation or any form of political agitations.
So, we must rise and defend our Christian faith against the threat of idolatry practice.
My assurance to Ndi Anambra is that security, peace, and order will return to the state. We have the vision to build a liveable and prosperous homeland. That is our focus.”he said
