Soludo inaugurates panel to investigate insecurity in Anambra’s oil-rich community
Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has inaugurated a panel to unravel the cause of insecurity in Ogwuaniocha community in Ogbaru Local Government Area of the state.
The member representing the area in the House of Representatives, Hon Afam Ogene, yesterday commended the governor for making the move.
Over 5,000 members of Ogwuaniocha community are currently displaced from both their homes and farmlands by criminal gangs in what is said to be a crisis relating to oil mining.
The displaced people are staying in safer areas in the local government, while most others have fled the area.
The crisis, which has lingered since 2020, also led to the abduction of the traditional ruler of the area, who is yet to be found to date.
But Soludo, in a resolve to get to the root of the problem in the area, at the weekend constituted a commission of inquiry.
DAILY POST gathered that the panel is to be chaired by Hon. Justice C. E. K. Anigbogu (retd) and Professor Felicia Anyogu as secretary, with 11 other persons as members, most of whom are also from the affected area.
Afam Ogene, in a press statement, hailed Soludo for the move, despite the problem preceding his tenure as governor of the state.
The lawmaker said: “This move has the potential of reducing the incidents of violent crimes and other criminality in Ogbaru and Anambra State in general.
“I also call on all concerned to embrace this development and seek sustainable reconciliation for the overall peace and development of Ogwuaniocha and Ogbaruland.”
