The African Action Congress (AAC), has urged Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo to intensify action against the rising insecurity in the state or the party will storm the state government house, market places and streets in protest.
The State Chairman of AAC, Comrade Chioma Grace Ifemeludike disclosed this while briefing journalists on the state of security in Anambra.
She said that insecurity has reached a point where every Ndi-Anambra and other inhabitants in the state have to join hands with AAC to rescue the state from the menace.
According to her, AAC has come to Anambra to rescue the state from the trending insecurity because the state governor Soludo is paying a lip service to the situation. The security situation has deteriorated to a stage where people disguised as beggars while traveling to their communities. This is unacceptable. We can not continue to watch our people dying like flies on daily basis. We cannot allow our state, being the light of the nation to return to darkness. People are being kidnapped and killed everyday and the government is doing less to address the challenged.

“We will not run away from unscrupulous elements in our dear state. Also word on the street has it that organ harvesters and seria killers are on the loose. This sounds like an era of cannibalism. These men of the underworld have caused mayhem, pan and suffering to the physical, financial and emotional wellbeing of Ndi-Anambra.
“It has gotten so bad that people now avoid to travel or disguise when they need to visit home. This is totally unacceptable by AAC. The faceless men who have terrorized, oppressed, kidnapped in most cases murdered innocent citizens in cold blood. In less than four weeks we have seen prominent citizens, clergy men and women and even average residents fall victims in the hands of kidnappers,
“Anambra State known as the light of the nation seems to be struggling with darkness of insecurity and fear of the unknown terror gangs. The State of emergency declared by the governor, which seems ike a mere political statement or lip service due to government’s inability has no effected any obvious change. This menace is suffocating and almost crippling business activities in the state.
“We wil defend our ancestral lands against intruders. We will used every tool available to us both the social media and street protests to engage the Anambra State Government until the right thing is done. We urged governor Soludo to take charge and be proactive with matters that affect the state.”
