Anambra Governor Declares War On Street Boys

 


Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, announced a vigorous campaign against the presence of street urchins in Onitsha, the thriving commercial hub of the state. Soludo delivered this declaration on a Saturday, during his participation in the Ofala Festival of Onitsha Ancient Kingdom's monarch, Obi Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, affectionately known as Agbogidi.

In his address to the Onitsha community, Soludo emphasized the historical significance of what was once known as Greater Onitsha, encompassing five local government areas in modern-day Anambra. He highlighted the profound role this region played in the development of Igbo civilization and stressed that for progress to be realized in Igbo land, addressing the challenges in Onitsha is of paramount importance.

Soludo said,

“We felicitate with Agbogidi on the occasion of this year’s Ofala Festival, which is his 22nd anniversary on the throne. I like the projection of Onitsha Ofala by Onitsha people. It is a noble culture.

“Onitsha constitutes the Obi of Ndigbo, and for Igbo to move forward, Onitsha must move forward. That is why we are working hard so that the dry bones will rise again. This is the big city for which Igbo is known.

“We have resolved to wipe out thugs and hoodlums in Onitsha. Very soon, we are coming for them. We don’t know from what town they come to take over Onitsha, but we will keep evacuating them.

“In the next few weeks, an operation will commence, something big will happen in Onitsha in terms of security,” Soludo said.
