Worried by the increasing spate of insecurity which has resulted in the death of many security operatives in Anambra State in recent time, Governor Willie Obiano warned, yesterday, that the development portends great danger.
In a broadcast to the people of the state, Obiano regretted a situation where a town hall meeting hosted by Professor Charles Soludo in his town, Isuofia, was turned into a theatre of war.
The governor said he had been fully briefed by the security agencies, assuring the public that the police and other relevant agencies were continuing investigations into the Isuofia incident and would not relent until the perpetrators were brought to book.
Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has said that the state government did not pay any ransom for the release of the recently abducted Commissioner for Public Utilities in the state, Engr Emeka Ezenwanne.
Obiano, who made a state-wide broadcast on Sunday evening, added that no ransom was demanded by the abductors for the commissioner’s release.
Ezenwanne, who was kidnapped on Wednesday night during an attack on former CBN governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo was on Sunday morning freed by his abductors.
Obiano said, “I have chosen this moment to address the State since the unfortunate incident at Isuofia on the 31st of March 2021, wherein a town hall meeting involving Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo and youths of the town was disrupted by armed men, killing three policemen in the process.
