The House of Representatives has requested the National Security Adviser (NSA) to deploy special security men to Anambra State to curb the spate of killing and other insecurities in the state.
This is coming after the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance Hon Chris Azugbogu (PDP-Anambra) on the floor of the House.
He had raised concern over the spate of insecurity currently in Anambra State, adding that some mischief-makers may be planning to disrupt the Nov. 6 governorship election in the state.
He also lamented the death of Dr Chike Akunyili, the husband of the late former Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof Dora Akunyili and eight others, who were slaughtered at Nkpor, Onitsha in Anambra.
“The next day, the police station in Orumba North was attacked and people were killed,” he said.
He stated that on Sept. 30, his vehicle was attacked along Nnewi Nnobi road leading to the ultimate death of one of his drivers.
He added that the office of the Department of State Security was also burnt down on Oct. 3, people were also killed and houses burnt.
He implored the government to swing into action to curtail the menace before things go out of hand.
Following this, the House directed the committee on National Security and Intelligence and Police Affairs to ensure that normalcy is restored within the state and report to the House within three weeks.
