The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has condemned the reported killing in Anambra State, of a woman and her children by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen.
The Governor described the killing as unacceptable, promising that the perpetrators would be fished out and dealt with according to law.
In a press statement signed by the Press Secretary to the Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Christian Aburime, Soludo stated that all law-abiding Nigerian citizens, irrespective of tribe, religion, or other affiliations, were entitled to reside and or do business in any part of the country, including the Southeast and in Anambra State, without any fear of unlawful harassment, molestation, or attack of any kind, under any guise by anyone or group.
The statement further mentioned: “Accordingly, no group or Nigerian is justified to harass, attack, or kill any citizen of Nigeria or anyone resident in Nigeria under any guise whatsoever unless in the lawful execution of a court sentence. While insisting that perpetrators of these heinous atrocities and their sponsors are testing the resolve of the Government and people of Anambra State, Prof Soludo assures that efforts are underway to fish out and bring to justice whoever is behind the criminal activities. Finally, Soludo reassures all Nigerians living or doing business in Anambra State, of the resolve of the State Government to always ensure adequate protection of their lives and properties.”
