Governor Charles Soludo’s excellent approach to tackling the security challenges in Anambra State has been commended by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, who urged Nigerians to value strategic thinking over quick fixes.
Aburime said that while Governor Soludo faced intense criticism from opposition politicians and religious figures regarding the state’s security challenges, he remained focused on taking a holistic approach to building long-term solutions designed to address the root causes of criminal activities.
He described the launch of Operation Udo Ga-Achi (Peace Must Reign) and the strengthening of the Agunechemba vigilante group as pivotal moves in Soludo’s administration’s security strategy, carefully planned measures aimed at dismantling criminal networks and restoring peace.
The Chief Press Secretary applauded Governor Soludo’s decision to equip the state’s security operatives with artificial intelligence-aided surveillance gadgets and a fleet of vehicles. These tools, he noted, have already proven effective in tracking and apprehending criminals, signaling a new era for security operations in the state.
He said the recent launch of Operation Udo Ga-Achi and the bolstering of the Agunechemba vigilante force, which led to the dramatic discovery and demolition of the Udoka Golden Point Hotel and Suites, also known as La Cruise Hotel, in the Oba area of the state, were tributes to this strategy.
The hotel, masquerading as a legitimate business, was discovered to have housed a horrifying secret: over 30 partitioned graves and a shrine, revealing the gruesome extent of the criminal activities taking place within its walls.
Aburime added that Governor Soludo’s approach, targeting such clandestine machinations and establishments directly, is sending a potent message: there will be no haven for criminals in Anambra.
