Governor Soludo’s Anambra is on fire

The situation has become so dire that some parts of the state are now being referred to as “Sambisa,” after the Sambisa Forest, the main base of the Boko Haram insurgents in the North East.

Governor Soludo has been criticized for his handling of the insecurity crisis, with some arguing that he has been overwhelmed by the situation.

The governor has blamed the infiltration of vigilante operatives by criminals for the insecurity, but this excuse has been met with skepticism.

The Anambra State government has been urged to take decisive action to address the insecurity crisis, including empowering the police and military with necessary equipment and technology.
