Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has condemned the alleged cult-related killings in Okpuno, Ifite and Obosi communities.

The President General of Obosi Community, Hon Ike Okolo, was gunned down by gunmen in his car on January 2, 2023.

One other person was also reportedly killed in Obosi community, with his face shattered, making identification difficult.

Five persons including a PDP leader were killed by suspected cultists in Ifite and Nodu Okpuno communities, in Awka South Local Government Area of the state.

In a press release by the Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Christian Aburime, Soludo decried the killings.

"The attention of Anambra State Government has been drawn to killings within the State as a consequence of cult-related war among rival cult groups in Okpuno, Ifite and Obosi communities," the statement read.

"The State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR has condemned the cult-related war among rival groups and subsequent killings in Obosi and Okpuno in Idemili North and Awka South Council Areas respectively.

"In Obosi, the President General of the Community, Hon. Ike Okolo was reportedly shot dead in a petrol station on Monday, 2nd January, 2022, by gunmen, while in Obi Maduka's compound within Nodu town square, Nodu Okpuno, gunmen killed four people identified as Onyiebo Okoye, Kenechukwu Okeke, Jude Ebenezar and Obinna Maduka.

"Governor Soludo condemns these mindless killings in the strongest terms and has assured that the perpetrators will be apprehended and decisively dealt with, even if they have ran out of town. He stressed that they will be hunted down to face the full wrath of the law.

"This festive season, Anambra has enjoyed the best Christmas ever in decades as it was traffic-free with a new system of traffic control put in place by the government during the festive season with Anambra Youth Volunteers and the State traffic management agency working 24 hours at all the critical points to control traffic.

"Today, Monday, 2nd January that used to be observed as sit at home, witnessed massive outdoor activities, as the State bubbled with activities all over.

"Governor Soludo further reassured that the cult gangs that fought today will surely be tracked down and dealt with decisively in accordance with the law.

"He called on Ndi Anambra to go about their normal duties and enjoy the season as the challenges are isolated cases that will be nipped in the bud soon."

GOD heal this country and take away politicians that have pitted us against each other AMEN

Nah Tiumbu dey send DSS and Fulani to kee Igbos

That's how real leadership is being displayed.

Condemnming the evil act and send message to the miscreants

When will Obi exerts himself over his boys to stop this nonsense?

This is why I considered Obi to be desperate.
He can't even put up a statement to condemn this, simply because of his inordinate ambition that won't see the light of the day.

Peter Obi's Legacy

The United Nations has predicted that, by 2030, if menace is not curtailed, the total population of SE will be less than 1 million

Exactly

May this man not even think of ruling Nigeria. What a disaster of a governor.

Let's share some shishi

I blame Buhari and Soludo with their legislators...

One of the ways Peter Obi succeeded in terms of security in Anambra was through the establishment of community vigilante groups as the local police and trust me it worked.
Although sometimes these vigilante boys overreached themselves and bully people for no good reasons, but if you look at the bigger picture you'll realize that they curbed security challenges in their local communities. Crime is afterall local they say.

Train these local vigilante more in terms of arms handling and interpersonal relationships and then pay them well. See how crime will go down drastically. They are closer to the communities and much more proactive that the police officers themselves

One thing I know is that politicians know exactly who this boys are, they dine and wine with them especially this period. This idiot will remain irrelevant and find something else to do if our politicians stop sponsoring their nonsense

God Almighty Help Us Out In This Country

2 much killing in anambra

Condemnation without solution is hypocritical and senseless, He's contesting to end the menace once for all and not to condemn without action

But Oga Governor, I thought it’s Peter Obi that is your problem.

Useless traitor.

Soon they will come after you too.

As you can see these people no dey fear.

Tinubu boys are already wailing all over previous threads claiming it's IPOB/ESN because of ignorance and their hate filled mindset.

We all know the region/tribe that brought cultism into Nigeria and how it infested the whole country with it.

One of the 7 founders of cultism today is (Wole Soyinka) who the Yorubas today pride as an intellect.

But you see some of this Yorubas muslims ( Ihordspy and co) causing nuisance here and jumping on every thread that has to do with Peter Obi, IPOB and South East in general won't talk about this but are very quick to rub the name of the Igbos on the mud.

I'm not here to condemn any tribe but fact remains that every tribe/region here in Nigeria has a certain crime that she is associated with.

So trying so hard to paint a certain region bad because they once rejected today's failed Nigeria is totally wrong.

"This festive season, Anambra has enjoyed the best Christmas ever in decades..."

Just read the barefaced and insulting lie spewed by this Anu mpama Tax collector of a Governor!

SoluTax is a regrettable mistake worse than Buhari
