This was revealed by the President-General of the group, Goodluck Ibem, who condemned the killing of Anambra lawmaker, Okechukwu Okoye and his aide. He said people were also killed a day after gunmen beheaded Okechukwu and also burnt security vehicles and a police station.
He said the plot by hoodlums and assailants to turn Anambra State and Igboland into a killing field is dead on arrival, and that they will no longer complain about insecurity in the region, but rather they would rise up and defend their homes and communities.
The President-General called on Governor Charles Soludo to form a security outfit in the state and also fund them so they can protect and secure various communities in the state. He said Professor Charles Soludo should know that war has been declared on him and his people and that he has to remove his suit and tie so as to fight and defeat these gunmen who have vowed to make the state ungovernable for him.
