A group, Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, has condemns Thursday night’s brutal attack in Anambra State, which left two police men, two citizens dead, and several others abducted.
The incident had happened at Uga junction in Aguata Local Government Area of the state, and had seen the convoy of a politician falling prey.
The group which marveled at the spate of deadly attacks in Anambra State, also have the state governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo 48 hours to vacate the seat for his inability to provide security.
In a press release by its President General, Goodluck Ibem, the group said: “It is worrisome that such deadly attack could be executed during the Christmas period, a time highly respected and revered by Christians all over the world.
“This is a big slap and we will not take it lying low. Those hoodlums must be arrested and prosecuted immediately.
“This sad attack happened because the governor who is the Chief Security Officer of the State failed woefully to provide security which is the primary responsibility of the government to the people. What is he doing with all the money he collects for security votes. Definitely nothing!
“It is very sad that people who were enjoying their Christmas celebration were seen screaming, running and scampering away for their dear lives as the gunshots were deafening and frightening. Truly intelligence gathering is not working in the state.”
The group said Anambra State had been a target zone by hoodlums and criminals because of the inability of Governor Charles Soludo to govern the state.
“Vicious attacks such as this scares away investors and it must be nipped in the bud for meaningful growth and development to take place in the state.
“We call on all to be always alert and be security conscious given the fact that the Governor has failed woefully to provide security for the good people of Anambra State.
“We give Governor Charles Soludo 48 hours to Immediately resign and apologize to the good people of Anambra State for leadership incompetence and lack of capacity to defend his people.
“It is very sad to note that Governor Soludo lacks the courage to commission active intelligence network that will assist the community people in the fight against hoodlums and kidnappers whose objectives are to kill the people and take their hard earned resources.”
