The lawmaker representing Ayamelum state constituency in the 8th legislature of Anambra State Hon. Maduaburochukwu Bernard Udemezue has observed that insecurity is still a matter of utmost concern in the state despite concerted efforts by the present administration to achieve a peaceful cum tranquil atmosphere devoid of security breaches.
Udemezue who spoke to HEADLINE NEWS exclusively at the state assembly complex Awka on Tuesday, said although the newly launched Operation Udo Ga Achi and Agunechemba security squad are doing their best to provide watertight security in the state; he said insecurity has not stopped instead the state is currently witnessing a deterioration of the situation.
The lawmaker who made reference to a recent viral video online where kidnappers shot their victims with fierce brutality and posted it online with flagrant audacity questioned the capacity of the authorities in charge to check activities of criminal elements lurking in the state.
Udemezue who is the House of Assembly Committee Chairman on Homeland Affairs, noted that the alleged clamour for a state of emergency on Anambra State over insecurity is totally uncalled for, maintained that the situation hasn't gotten to the point warranting emergency rule but insisted that the number of lives lost to incessant abductions is very alarming.
