Insecurity: Those Caught In Anambra Killings Are Igbos — Governor Soludo

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has revealed the identity of those involved in the killings of residents of the region.

Gunmen recently went on a rampage in the southeast, with residents, security operatives, and public infrastructure caught in the crossfire.

Speaking on the issue while appearing on Channels TV on Sunday, Soludo disclosed that those who have been caught are all Igbos.

“Let me be clear about it; 100% of the people we have caught are Igbos. It is not about some people invading from somewhere; it is 100% Igbos on Igbos, that is the fact.

“The first set of people we caught were 100 per cent 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", he said.

“Giving where things were when we came, we are not saying that Anambra is 100% secured … but everybody in Anambra – the 8.5 million residents of Anambra can testify to you that insecurity in Anambra has come down to the barest minimum.

“Fifteen camps run by gunmen here have been decimated. Even yesterday (Saturday), some other places where they were gathering were decimated.

"We have degraded their infrastructure and I don’t think they have the capacity again to come with the kind of ferocity they had in the past", Governor Soludo added.
