Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has assured adequate security in the state both before, during, after the yuletide and beyond.
Governor Soludo urged the good people of Anambra, residents and visitors to ignore any unfounded alarm meant to infuse fear in them or discourage them from visiting the state as these are idle engagements which the government has all that it takes to deal with.
He listed some of the measures already put in place to make Anambra State a hot zone for criminal elements to include the use of checkpoints, patrol and response teams to cover various routes in the state, using a combined team of Anambra State Vigilante and security forces from conventional security agencies.
According to him, the state is also leveraging on technology to make it possible for people to make distress calls and share messages, videos and otherwise, of incidents that will enhance security response and services.
Governor Soludo unveiled all these while countering to a viral message by an anonymous writer, insinuating insecurity in some parts of the state during the yuletide period.
A release signed by the press Secretary to Governor Soludo, Mr. Christian Aburime, said that the author listed some roads and junctions which he/she warned returnees and visitors to the state to avoid for fear of attacks by gunmen.
While describing the information as mischievous, misleading and untrue, the release noted that the governor remains focused on making Anambra State the safest state in Nigeria and no misleading information or mischievous write ups will stop him from achieving this.
The release, which noted that the toll free 112 call center line is available 24/7 as well as the Police phone numbers – 07039194332 and 08039334002, listed Anambra State Government Emergency Call lines – 07039896429, 09017280990, 09076237441, 08093175528, 09187514891, 09168041120 and 08124153139 as numbers to call for security or related matters.
