Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has declared curfew in the state. The governor made the declaration in a state broadcast on Wednesday evening in Awka.

Soludo took the decision following reports of wanton killings, kidnappings and other insecurity issues affecting the state.

The former governor of Central Bank equally banned motorcycles, keke and shuttle buses from operating on Mondays.

According to him: “With effect from tomorrow, Friday, 26th May, 2022, a 6pm to 6am curfew is hereby placed on motorcycles (okada), tricycles (keke), and shuttle buses in Aguata, Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Nnewi North, Nnewi South, Ogbaru, Orumba North and Orumba South Local Governments until further notice.

Until further notice also, motorcycles, keke and shuttle buses are banned from operating in these local governments on Mondays until the Sit-at-Home completely stops. The youths of every community in the zone are hereby enjoined to assist the security agencies in the implementation of this policy and are mandated to seize any such motorcycle or tricycle on the spot.

“Local Vigilantes should report such motorcycles or tricycles (keke) immediately, and they will be confiscated by government and the owner prosecuted. The Okada, Keke, and shuttle bus union leaders must take responsibility to report their members who are involved in criminal activities. We shall review this after two weeks, and if members of these unions continue to be involved in criminal activities, the government will have no choice but to either disband the Unions and/or ban them out rightly in the state.

“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 harboring these criminals, for public purpose. Henceforth, every community is required to provide information on any part of their land occupied by these criminals as camps. If the community fails to do so, the government will take over such land.”

When Wike spoke about/against these things and took action, we can see what that man was avoiding. Shameless people saw it as an occasion for ethnic fights. I hope we can see the way bloodshed is becoming a norm in the east. Almost daily people get killed? Is this the kind of society you IPOB-praise singers want?

It is well always...

I thought he was doing gra gra......that he was going to stop sitat home?

Soludo caused all these unnecessary killings going on in anambra state with his uncout utterances.

If u are having doubts.......ask ur self why notherners and law makers are not being killed in Enugu, Imo, Abia state?

Nice one

How is this different from the sit-at-home…. I wonder

Noted

Colet the syllabus from Wike nd deal with doz thugs....

Xscape1993:

Lol, Imo is currently dealing with ipob now that's why imo is becoming calmer now.

Ebonyi is no go area for them cause umahi will deal with them.

Ipob is still an issue cause the governor have refused to deal with them like the way umahi and hope is currently dealing with them

you're just a Kid and Duns as well.... you have no iota of reasoning.... An Excutive gov that has the power to declare 24hrs for one week.... things have procedures kid

This is a massive win for the people and also for the unknown gunmen agitators and sit at home supporters. Less needless casualties.

The Anambra state government has yielded. For the sake of the people, which is commendable.

Reserved.

Nice one

Enforcing sit at home for IPOB terrorists
