Mefor urges President Generals of Anambra Town Unions to support Soludo’s security initiative
Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, has appealed to the Presidents-General of town unions in the state to support the new security initiative of the Soludo-led administration, Operation Udo Ga-Achị, to restore total security and rid the state of criminals.
Addressing the President Generals during his courtesy visit to the Anambra State Association of Town Unions (ASATU), at the ASATU Hall, Government House, Awka, Mefor assured that the state government is leaving no stone unturned to recover Ihiala and other parts of the state threatened by criminals.
He says, “Anambra is a great state, but criminals are bent on turning things upside down. That’s why we have in place the Anambra State Homeland Security Law, which established a new security outfit called Agunechemba, which replaced the Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), and launched Operation Udo Ga-Achị.
Some people are asking why we had to do it in January. The launch was what you saw on January 18. The new security architecture took quite some time to plan.
Acquiring the tech, constructing the Command and Control and Call Centres, putting in place one of the best tracking systems, the special purpose vehicles, and putting the Operation Udo Ga-Achi Strike Force together, among others took time; perhaps months.
The important thing therefore is that no time is late and the security intervention is now in place and already recording spectacular results.
“This security initiative will not work without the President Generals. All communities must work together with the state, as the new law stipulates.
“You have to be in charge of the operations of the new security operations in your communities. That’s what the new law says. This is not politics or about political parties. There is no political party in security matters. We need to secure our land first. Without peace and security, where will we play politics?
