A member of the House of Representatives, and Senator-elect for Anambra Central senatorial district, Mrs Uche Ekwunife, yesterday, described as a sham, the security purportedly being provided by the state government.
Ekwunife stated this at Nri, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to her, what the Anambra State government was doing was driving out one violent criminal and letting in 100 others, adding that the level of thuggery going in the state was mind boggling.
When reminded that the state has not recorded robbery and kidnapping incidents in about eight months, Ekwunife retorted: “This government chased away one armed robber and allowed in 100. You chase one out and you bring 100 to replace that one, is that fighting crime, what is the meaning of that?”
The Senator-elect also said the rescheduled Anambra State House of Assembly election in some local government areas was marred with state sponsored thuggery that had never been seen since the creation of the state.
On the arrest of 10 young men who were caught with multiple PVCs where they were smoking Indian hemp at a popular polling centre in Nri, Ekwunife, accused Anambra State government of bringing the boys to disrupt and rig election for the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
