Soludo Tackling Anambra Insecurity From Roots…Mefor
Dr Law Mefor, Commissioner for Information in Anambra says the Gov. Chukwuma Soludo is winning the war against insecurity with the recently enacted Homeland Security Law.
Mefor who said this in an interview in Awka on Monday noted that the rate of kidnapping and compliance to sit-at-home orders by non-state actors had reduced significantly.
He said the activities of Agunechemba security outfit and the clampdown on suspected fake native doctors had resulted in safer, more secure and peaceful Anambra.
He commended traditional medicine practitioners in the state for their cooperation with the state governments and readiness to rid themselves of the bad eggs among them.
“We met with no fewer than 500 native doctors and traditional African religionists to discuss their role in the security of Anambra and they supported the cleansing Gov. Soludo is carrying out in the system.
“There is a correlation between these fake negative doctors which engage in sorcery and insecurity. Anambra has witnessed significant reduction in crime and insecurity.
“Sit-at-home is waning because enforcement by nonstate actors has been whittled,” he said.
Mefor said the arrested alleged fake native doctors were still in detention and the exhibit recovered from them undergoing forensic investigation.
He said the suspects would be charged to court after criminal evidence against them must have been established adding that they had led many youths astray with their frivolous claims and served as enablers for crime.
The Commissioner said the Soludo administration was not waging any with any section or religious practice in the state on a battle for the
soul of the society.
