Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State says security has improved in the state, stressing that everybody can now sleep with their eyes closed.
Soludo made this statement while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Sunday Politics’, a programme on Channels Television.
He stated that eight councils, including Ihiala, which were “no-go areas” when his administration came on board, had been recovered from non-state actors.
The governor added that the feat resulted from his resolve to protect lives and property as part of the five-point agenda of his administration.
“You had a state where, before we came into office, nobody could even wear anything that suggests you are a politician, and so on. Dr. (Chike) Akunyili was killed simply because he had a policeman in his car.
“Most of the police stations were burnt down, and even soldiers were decimated by these criminal elements.
“Eight local governments you couldn’t travel to, you couldn’t get there. And now, everybody can sleep with their two eyes closed,” Soludo said.
