How Anambra Became Safe Under Obi by OldNairalander(m): 6:03am On Oct 07, 2022
Within six years of Obi's governorship,no successful bank robbery was recorded.
Even Evans the kidnapper relocated to Lagos when Anambra became too hot for him.

I did a verification of this statements and found out it's true.
Why was the media silent then over this lofty achievements of a governor.
I have never seen this before in this country.

Please Nigerians, let's forget ethnicity and tribalism and install PO as President.

Anambra State
Reports say that between July/September 2008 and July 2009, over N600million was lost to kidnapping and bullion van/bank robbery activities in Anambra State, including ransom paid. In the September 2008 Awkuzu bullion van robbery, over N200 million was reportedly lost and few months back when Chief Paul Okonkwo, alias POKOBROS, was kidnapped, between N70 million was alleged to have been paid to his captors. Over fifteen police officers, including a Divisional Police Officer for Awka Central Police Station or CPS, had also been killed.

On the Eve of the 2008 Christmas, five police persons were gunned down at Abagana, Anambra State. Also, over sixty residents in Anambra State had been killed within the period under review. In the April 2009 Oba-Nnewi bullion van robbery, about thirty persons were reportedly shot dead. Similarly, it is being suspected that between July 2008 and July 2009, a period of twelve months, SARS operatives in the State have killed over one hundred and twenty persons extra-judicially, on the average of ten persons per month. The outfit also tortures all of its suspects.

Akwuzu SARS killed alot of Anambra youth during obi term as governor.

We saw the floating dead bodies then. Many Anambra people complained about obi performance back then.

We need sincere people in this country, tinubu and atiku followers are plain and admits what they need to admit but why are obidient painting obi as a saint?

I don't understand.

You and I know that Obi had a turbulent first tenure. Always in and out of government. He was still fixing the security then.
What now happened between 2010-2014?
He responded decisively and was the first governor to start demolishing properties acquired by kidnappers

There is a thread here on how obi failed as a governor and his own people praying for his tenure to come to an end, but suddenly the man is a saint, forget pandora hidden loot and how he invested state money in his family business. That is typical ibo man logic, same way core northerners would still back buhari for a third term.

You've started again.

You started with 6 years now, you've narrowed it to his second term.

Bank robberies are not the only crimes in a society.

We know how Kidnapping for instance, was rife during Obi's regime.

Stop shifting the goal post.
What has Awkuzu SARS to do with the thread?
Is it only in Anambra state that SARZ secretly executed criminals?

Even America's best President of all times Abraham Lincoln had opposition that orchestrated his assassination.
Why won't OBI have one?

I guess you know better than a sitting IGP Abubakar who made the statement right?

Thank you oga, saint obi is jesus.

The bottom line is you are not any different from those you malign, you just choose to support your own kinsman and turn a blind eye to his faults just as the others do.

It was only obi's time dead bodies 100+ were floating on river under the governor's nose.

Nowhere in southwest did such happened.
When SARS were doing too much in southwest and south south we took the endsars movement on ourselves before southeast summoned courage to join others.

Not a thread bro, many threads. They were cursing him until recently when Atiku upgraded him to his running mate in the last election. That’s now the narratives changed.
