On behalf of the government and great people of Anambra State, the Governor, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families and organisations, particularly the US Embassy, over the death of their staff and Policemen, who were attacked by gunmen along Atani-Osamala Road, Ogbaru Local Government Area on Tuesday, 16th May 2023, while they were on a mission in Anambra State.
He said, “We strongly condemn the heinous and unprovoked attack. Over the last one year, we have worked very hard with our gallant security forces to massively degrade criminality and restore law and order. We can proudly assert that Anambra is currently one of the safest states in Nigeria”.
“Only two weeks ago, the dreaded and notorious criminal gang leader operating mostly in a neighboring state was gunned down with four of his team members when they made incursion into Anambra and recovered huge deadly weapons. The criminals are largely on the run or feeling the heat of our zero tolerance to criminality.”
“This incident in a remote riverine community in Ogbaru Local Government is a reminder that patches of these criminal gangs can still unleash senseless and murderous acts.”
“Whatever the identity or motive of the attackers, Anambra State Government will actively work with the security agencies to smoke out the criminals and bring them to justice.”
