Soludo vows to seize houses harbouring criminals
Anambra state Governor Chukwuma Soludo has vowed to seize any house or land harbouring criminals.
He said this during his state broadcast on Wednesday.
“No part of Anambra State (house, bush or forest) shall be used as camps for these criminals.
“Anyone with a gun in a camp is considered a criminal in Anambra State, and the government and people will work with security agencies to flush them out.
“The state government shall, pursuant to its powers under the Land Use Act, revoke and acquire any land found to be harbouring these criminals, for public purpose”, said Soludo in his address.
The governor also urged the residents to “provide information on any part of their land occupied by these criminals as camps”.
In addition, Governor Soludo imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on eight local government areas of the state.
“With effect from tomorrow, Thursday, 26th May, 2022, a 6pm to 6am curfew is hereby placed on motorcycles (okada), tricycles (keke), and shuttle buses in the Aguata, Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Nnewi North, Nnewi South, Ogbaru, Orumba North and Orumba South Local Governments, until further notice”.
