Civil Society Calls For Collaborative Effort To Curb Insecurity In Anambra

Anambra State Civil Society Network, ACSONET, a foremost Citizens and stakeholders platform, has called for collaborative efforts in the state to tackle insecurity and other criminal activities.

The society made the call as it condemned the recent attacks and killings in the State by yet to be identified hoodlums.

The latest being the most unwarranted killing of United States, US, Embassy Staff, Police officers and others along Atani-Osamala Road in Ogbaru Local Local Government Area of the State.

Leader of the group, Prince Chris Azor who doubles as Non State Actors Co-chair, Open Government Partnership ,OGP, described the incident as dastardly and most condemnable.

Comrade Azor called on the Nigerian and State Governments to redouble their efforts in ensuring security and safety of citizens.

He also implored the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to ensure prompt arrest of the hoodlums and release of others taken hostage.

The human rights advocate while pledging the full support of his members across the Communities, enjoined citizens “to always assist government in surveillance and information gathering to stem the ugly tide.”

On behalf of the group, Azor expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families especially, the US Embassy and the Nigeria Police.
