Soludo's unguarded Utterances caused insecurity resurgence in Anambra- INTERSOCIETY



The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law( Intersociety) has said the resurgent insecurity in Anambra State and the entire South-East region was caused by unguarded utterances of the Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.

Intersociety said this in a statement made available to journalists in Awka, the Anambra State capital on Tuesday by its board of trustees chairman, Mr Emeka Umeagbalasi.
The group said security issues should not be an open discussion the way Soludo was handling.



The group's statement read in part, "Unguarded uttrances ,generalizations and lack of credible intelligence as fundamental threats capable of undermining the formative stability of the Government of Prof Charles Soludo in Anambra State.

"The person of Prof Charles Soludo may also need to work hard to wriggle himself out of ‘over knowledge mastership syndrome’. This, if not corrected or tamed now, may lead to the new governor being left or isolated by people of good conscience especially the ‘homeland’ democratic forces in the State.

"The ‘homeland’ democratic forces in the state have since resolved to join hands with the new Gov to turn Anambra State positively around on condition that their constructive voices must be heard and acted upon when freely given.

"It is therefore a global elementary knowledge that sensitive security issues are not handled through unguarded public utterances and ‘generalizations. It is also instructive to point out that the backbone of security and intelligence in the world lies on detection, thorough verification of the detected and their handling styles anchored on pre action muting on what has been detected and un-muting of same after what has been detected has been operated upon through intelligence and ICT powered operations.

" In Criminology, generalization, false labeling, criminalization and stigmatization of members of a general population or a particular group or associating them with acidic social deviances and violent crimes are the most undoing of any governing authority or policing organization. These are also totally forbidden in modern world of detective and investigative security and intelligence.



The group added, "Intersociety has severally investigated and found that between 80% and 90% of the state actor security intelligence and investigative information on the state of insecurity in the South-Eastt are highly disputable and questionable and these have led to wanton waste of innocent lives and destruction of nonviolent properties by deployed armed state actors.


"In the case of Anambra State there is clear lack of credible state actor intelligence regarding the individual and group identities of “citizens in crime” in the state. In other words, in as much as some bush or forest hideouts are held by the armed wing of the mainstream Biafra agitators, motley of violent criminal persons and entities, who patronize street criminalities, also abound in an ‘industrial scale.

The group advised Soludo not to rush IPOB matters to avoid plunging the state into “another Imo State," adding "Solution to IPOB matters is not short term soluble but likely going to require medium or long term solutions. From our findings, a litany of goodwill still abounds for the Gov to move the state forward developmentally and securely. The primary task before Gov Soludo is: clean the dtate especially Onitsha, Ogbaru, Idemmili North, Oyi, Awka, Ekwulobia, Ihiala and Nnewi; open up drainages and waterways ahead of this coming rainy season, stop open defecation at Onitsha Upper-Iweka to Niger Bridge axis, identify and rout out touts and criminal revenue agents wreaking havoc in Onitsha and environs, clear blocked drainages across the state of illegal structures, rehabilitate failed State roads and monitor the conducts, activities and movements of his newly confirmed Commissioners especially those in charge of “Homeland (Security) Matters/Affairs” and Finance; the reappointed “mistakes of the Obiano Administration”.


"Soludo should also inform the citizens of the state the real target groups of the State Government’s “Amnesty” and whether the “Amnesty” is meant for armed robbers, car snatchers, phone snatchers and criminal electronic money thieves, house breakers, arsonists, burglary offenders, kidnappers, cultists, rapists, ritualists, hired killers; or whether the “Amnesty” is meant for armed agitators alone"

Load of nonsense.

How is it good to force people to stay at home on Monday in protest of Kanu. It should be voluntary to anyone who's sympathetic to Kanu's cause, but forcing everyone doesn't appeal to me. Soludo did the proper thing.

IPOB sympathizers, so your mad.pig Kanu can talk and a whole governor can not...bloody enemy.of the people,. IPOB propangandist.
