You've signed death warrants, APGA Chief warns gunmen planning to attack Anambra LGAs

The National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has called for residents of Anambra State to be watchful and security conscious over a recent threat by hoodlums to attack some local government areas in the state.

He, however, warned the hoodlums to be rest assured that they had just signed their death warrants should they go ahead to carry out their plot.

Obigwe stated this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Wednesday.

He said,"The gunmen that listed nine councils for attacks in Anambra should know that they have signed their death warrant because an adage says that "monkey will go market one day and the monkey will not come back"'.

"The undeniable truth is that the so called unknown gunmen are terrorists and should be treated as terrorists without mercy.

"Some of our people hailing them are doing that out of naivety because if they succeed in destroying our security architecture, we are finished.

While commending the state governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, for the measures he had put in place to protect the life and property of the people of state, Obigwe restated that security should be everybody's business.

His statement reads:

Am of the firm opinion that security is everybody business and not something that will be left for government to be handling alone.

We the people of Anambra State need to give Governor Soludo administration all the needed cooperation to nip insecurity in the bud in our State hence the reason we must key into his administration newly launched "if you see something, say something security initiative ".

There is nothing like unknown gunmen because the perpetrators of the evil acts are human beings that lives among us.

If we cooperate with government through the provision of intelligence report to our security agents on how to get these known gunmen that masquerades as unknown gunmen, the mayhem they are unleashing in our beloved State will be a thing of the past.

Most importantly, we have to be security conscious and watch what happens around us very carefully.

Perpetrators of crime use evil minded people around us to carry out their evil activities.

They can use your neighbour or your most trusted friend and that is why we must be careful of all that we do and always have it at the back of our mind that when it comes to security of lives and properties that nobody can actually be trusted.

Even some evil minded security operatives are complicit in the evil activities of these criminals and that is the reason we must be careful always.

Our beloved Governor Soludo is doing his best to secure our lives and properties but we must support all he is doing as patriotic citizens.

If we say enough is enough to the mayhem being unleashed in our beloved State by the known gunmen that masquerades as unknown gunmen and provide the needed intelligence report to our security agents, we will wave bye bye to their terror.

Let's join hands with government to nip the evil activities of the unknown gunmen terrorists in the bud in our State.
