•’We’ll find perpetrators, bring them to justice’
The governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo has condemned the reported killing of a woman and her children by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen in Anambra State, saying that the act was barbaric.
The governor, who spoke in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, also described the killing as unacceptable, promising that the perpetrators would be fished out and dealt with according to law.
According to Governor Soludo, all law-abiding Nigerian citizens, irrespective of tribe, religion or other affiliations, are entitled to reside and or do business in any part of the country, including the South East and in Anambra State, without any fear of unlawful harassment, molestation or attack of any kind, under any guise by anyone or group.
He said: “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 lawful execution of a court sentence.”
While insisting that perpetrators of these heinous atrocities and their sponsors were testing the resolve of the government and people of Anambra State, Prof Soludo assured that efforts were underway to fish out and bring to justice whoever is behind the criminal activities.
He promised all Nigerians living or doing business in the state of the resolve of the government to ensure adequate protection of their lives and property at all times.
