He called on the governor to shift from mere words and take real action against the perpetrators of criminal activities.
The lawyer to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has decried the rising insecurity, kidnappings and killings of hundreds of people of Anambra State by gunmen terrorising the state.
Ejiofor, while reacting to the killing of seven people in the Ihiala area of the state on Monday by gunmen who attacked security operatives, lamented that the state is under siege.
He called on the governor to shift from mere words and take real action against the perpetrators of criminal activities.
He noted that Governor Soludo must take immediate decisive action against criminals in the state and provide adequate security for the people.
Ejiofor lamented that the horrifying incidents in Ihiala “are a glaring reminder of the siege our beloved state is under.”
The lawyer said, “The gruesome loss of innocent lives to these unspeakable atrocities, is deeply tragic. Watching those harrowing clips, I am filled with grief and outrage. My heart bleeds.
“Anambra is in dire straits, and the time has come for Governor Soludo to shift focus from media narratives to tackling the real perpetrators desecrating our land.”
According to him, “These soulless beings, best described as monsters in human form, thrive on the shedding of innocent blood.
“This is a call for decisive and collective action. The weakened state security apparatus alone cannot bear the burden.
“Every able-bodied son of Anambra must rise to the challenge, joining forces in a determined effort to eradicate these predators who exploit every opportunity to terrorize and retreat into their dens.
“As we close the year on this heart-wrenching note, our resolve must be unwavering and resolute.”
Ejiofor noted that it is unacceptable to continue tolerating the political compromises that endanger the lives of the people of the state, questioning, “Where is the value we place on human life and dignity?”
He added, “These criminals are no strangers - they are shielded by those within our communities. The state must deploy every available resource to protect its citizens.
“Anambra cannot remain a safe haven for such heinous acts. The time for lip service is over.
“Enough is enough. We must act now with unity, strength, and an unyielding commitment to reclaim our state from these evil forces.
“Together, we can restore the peace and security our people rightfully deserve.”
