Insecurity: Governor Soludo condemns abduction of lawmaker in Anambra

The Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo has condemned the abduction of the lawmaker representing Aguata Constituency Two at the State House of Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye.

In a statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, he also condemned the abduction of lawmaker’s Campaign Director, Mr Cyril Chiegboka, by suspected gunmen at Aguata Council Area and therefore asked for their immediate release.

Governor Soludo also condemned the spate of insecurity across the State in recent times where innocent citizens had been attacked or killed, happening at a period when his government was already reaching out to critical stakeholders for the restoration of peace and security in the State.

He decried the rise in cases of kidnapping and killing of innocent citizens undermined the sanctity of human lives and that no one or group has the right to take human life with such gross impunity.

The Governor, therefore, sympathised with families of those who had directly or indirectly lost their loved ones and re-assured that the government was doing everything possible with the security agencies to restore peace and security to the State in accordance with the law.
