ALL Gunmen Caught In Anambra Are Igbo, Says Soludo by ManirBK: 3:12pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, says all the
gunmen caught in the state so far are indigenes of the
south-east.
Soludo said this on Sunday when he featured on Sunday
Politics, a programme on Channels Television.
Anambra, in recent months, has been targeted by
gunmen who attack residents, security operatives and
public infrastructure.
On September 11 , the convoy of Ifeanyi Ubah, lawmaker
representing Anambra south senatorial district, was
attacked by gunmen at Nkwo Enugu Ukwu, in Njikoka
LGA of Anambra.

Police officers and some aides of the senator were
killed in the attack.
Asked on the programme to comment on the identity of
such attackers, who are often referred to as “unknown
gunmen”, the governor said they are known.
“They are plain criminals, nothing else,” he said.

“It is lucrative criminality and idolatry. These are the two
things that have come with it.
“Anambra is, without a doubt, the richest state in the
south-east. So, this is the place where kidnapping has
the highest value. So, you have the highest
concentration here.
“They are not unknown gunmen. They are unknown to
the extent that maybe they are not caught immediately
in the act, but I can tell you that we have been catching
quite a lot of them and they know that something is
happening and that Anambra is not safe for them. Never
again.
“Let me be clear about this. 100 percent of all the
people that we have caught are Igbos. There is no one
who has somebody invading from somewhere. It is 100
percent Igbos on Igbos.
“The first set of people we caught were 100 percent
Igbos from other south-east states and none from
Anambra.
“But as we went on, we then discovered that a whole lot
of the youths who have been taken to these bushes that
got indoctrinated and initiated into all these kinds of
things also happen to be citizens of Anambra state or
indigenes of Anambra.”
The governor also said his administration is doing
everything possible, including using the “stick and
carrot” approach, in tackling criminality in the state.
He said “relative peace” has returned to the state
because his administration came into power “very
determined” to eliminate criminals.

“Their camps are being decimated. It won’t be too long
before we pin them down,” he said.
“Anambra has been quite relatively peaceful. We are
pursuing this agenda. Compared to many other places
in Nigeria, I’ll dare to say — if we are to have the
statistics for the past three months — I think Anambra
will compete favourably as one of the safest
comparatively.” https://www.thecable.ng/all-gunmen-caught-in-anambra-are-igbo-says-soludo/amp mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun semid4lyfe dominique Briareos UjSizzle |
