Anambra Insecurity: ASEG Lauds High Chief Emekayi

The Association of South East Vigilant Group (ASEG) has lauded  High Chief Kenneth Emekayi (Ike Okija) for his professionalism and expertise in steering the leadership of Anambra Vigilant Group otherwise  known as Agunechemba since his assumption of office some months ago.

 Gov Chukwuma Soludo had appointed High Chief  Emekayi who hails  from Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area  of the State as his  Special Adviser on Community Security in the State. 

ASEG in a crowded press Conference in Enugu addressed  by the Commander General of the group, Chief Emmanuel Ojukwu (CSP) rtd, thanked  the Governor, Prof.  Chukwuma Soludo, for this decision of appointing High Chief  Emekayi to take charge of   security  in the State.
 "It could be recalled that before the assumption of Emekayi , the State was  taken over by criminals masquerading as unknown gunmen and all sorts of criminal elements.
Out  of 21 Local Governments in the State, criminals took over 15 Local Governments, kidnapping,  robbing, killing and maiming citizens and created  serious insecurity and tension in the State" said the group .

But our findings, said Ojukwu,  showed  that these criminals have  been routed out from their different operational camps,  while many have  been neutralised.

Communities and Local Governments, they said,  like Umunze, Ogbunka in Orumba South,  Ihiala Local Government Area, Ogbaru, Ekwusigo,Nnewi South, Aguata Local Governments among other communities and Local Governments were controlled by these hoodlums
But within few months of Emekayi's leadership, ASEG said,  many of these Local Governments and communities have been reclaimed by Agunechemba .
"Umunze, Ogbunka in Orumba North and South Local Governments,Ihiala have been liberated almost 90 percent, while Aguata, Nnewi have been  fully liberated" said  Ojukwu.
He said Ogbe-Ukwu in Ogbaru Local Government Area has also been liberated. Ogbe-Ukwu was the Headquarters of kidnappers in Anambra State, It was Ogbe-Ukwu criminals who  kidnapped and killed  Hon Justice Azuka.
But now, said Ojukwu, Ogbe-Ukwu is  now fully under the control of Agunechemba security forces. 

ASEG however  appealed to  Governor Chukwuma Soludo to continue to provide Agunechemba operatives with necessary logistics that will enable them  succeed in this task 
The group  also pleaded with the governor to review the salary of officers from the present N100.000 to N200,000  to allow them face the current socio-economic challenges in the country.
They said the current salary could not sustain their operatives considering that most of them have families they cater for.
