Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo on Sunday lamented that his two kinsmen, Okechukwu Okoye, a lawmaker and Cyril Chiegboka, who were beheaded by terrorising gunmen in the most gruesome manner, saying that the party is over and the people of the State must join government to reclaim the homeland from criminals.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Governor Soludo said: “No human being should ever have to experience death in that way. For no just reason, rampaging criminals have elected to desecrate our land with the blood of the innocent.
“This is a test of our resolve, and we are more emboldened than cowed that this criminality MUST be stamped out of our land. Ụmụnnem Ndị Anambra, this is not who we are.
“The party is over, and every community must brace up to join forces with government in this war to reclaim our homeland.
“Okey and Cyril will NEVER die in vain. May God console their young families, the people of Isuofia and ndị Anambra. May their souls and all others who have lost their lives in the hands of these criminals continue to rest in peace.”
Soludo said his government had placed a N10,000,000 bounty for anyone with useful information on the killers, saying this war is one that Anambra people must win.
