In line with the present apprehensions of people in the Southeast after the ruling of the Supreme Court on the continued detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Anambra State Commissioner for Homeland Matters, Chief Chikodi Anarah, has said that the state government is aware that some miscreants would capitalize on the pronouncement of the Supreme Court to cause trouble and all manner of brigandage, and he urged the citizens of the State not worry on the empty threats of the hoodlums.
Assuring that the state government has reassured all law-abiding citizens of the State of the government’s continued strive to protect lives and property in the area, the Hon. Commissioner revealed that the government has spotted flash points across the State, noting that there are already sustained efforts of the Neighborhood Watch and the Joint Task Force on Security as both, he said are battle-ready to take on any person or group of persons found to be perpetrating insecurity in the state.
Hon. Chikodi Anarah who spoke through the Public Relations Officer, Anambra Vigilante Group, AVG, Mr. Nweke Nweke said the State Neighborhood Watch has extended its operations to all the boundaries of Anambra State, aimed at checkmating the movement of strange faces with warring on all within the boundary areas to comport themselves in a manner that will not lead them into a fracas with the security agencies.
Calling on the citizens to complement Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s ambition to recover the entire state from the hands of the men of the world, Commissioner Anarah charged the people of the state to always avail the security personnel with useful information that could make them nip the hoodlums action(s) on the bud.
“This is a festive period and I am aware that some of the enemies of the State may likely raise their heads but my assurance is that we are going to crush them at any time they come up. Security should be seen as everyone’s business and that is why I am appealing to everyone to play his or her own role in making this season, a hitch-free one”. He said.
