Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State, on Friday, announced that some of the gunmen who attacked the convoy of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah have been arrested.
Soludo disclosed this during the burial of Pa Boniface Nwankwo, father of Hon. Dozie Nwankwo who represents Dunukofia, Njikoka, Anaocha Federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
CEOAFRICA had reported that there was an assassination attack on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy, which claimed the lives of four security aides and two personal assistants, while he escaped in his bullet proof car.
Soludo said: “Three weeks ago, it was in this same community that some elements choose to attack Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. I want to tell you that we have arrested a number of those involved in that attack. We are still on the trail of the remaining people.’’
“We will not let people like that define who we are. This is Anambra State, and we are peaceful people. We must embrace peace, even in the coming election. Anambra is peaceful, Anambra is safe.’’
“We have chased away bad elements in the state. The pockets of crime you hear of are just a small number of the bad elements left. They will not disappear in one night, even in civilised places, they are still few bad elements.”
