At its 10th meeting held at the new government house, the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) resolved to confiscate and seal all facilities used as quarters for child beggars.
The council emphasized that this decision aligns with the Anambra Homeland Security Law 2025, which mandates the closure and seizure of any premises serving as holding places for child beggars.
The State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, stated that the move is to ensure the safety of the people to make Anambra a crime-free state.
He stated that the Anambra Homeland Security Law which birthed the security system, Agunechemba, and the Operation Udo Ga-Achi (meaning peace shall reign) security operatives launched in January by the Soludo administration, is aimed at eliminating all sorts of criminality from the state and make it a place where people can live without fear of being disturbed by criminals.
In pursuit of the fight against crime, many kidnappers have been arrested and hideouts demolished, with successful raids for criminals at Ozubulu, Isiagu, Oba, and Nnewi, among other places in Anambra.
The eight Local Government Areas, namely Aguata, Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Nnewi North, Nnewi South, Orumba North, Orumba South, and Ogbaru, which were under siege before the advent of Governor Soludo’s government, have also been freed by the security network.
While commending communities in the state and their leaders who have collaborated with his administration to eradicate criminality and insecurity at various intervention points, Governor Soludo averred that security, law, and order remain pivotal to his administration’s vision of a livable and prosperous homeland.
