The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, has described those condemning the Agunechemba security outfit as supporters and accomplices of kidnappers, armed robbers and other criminals in the state.
Soludo said this yesterday at the funeral mass for the late Justice Azuka, the slain Labour Party (LP) member, who represented Onitsha 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.
Present at the ceremony were the party’s presidential candidate in the last election; Mr Peter Obi; Senator Victor Umeh (Anambra Central), Senator Tony Nwoye (Anambra North), and Hon. Emeka Idu (Onitsha North and South Federal Constituency), among others.
During his remarks, Governor Soludo promised to ensure that the family of the late lawmaker did not lack anything.
He said: “They murdered Justice and we will give them justice. No two ways about it.
“We are so shocked by the way the youths of these days are taking human lives.
“Many people have in the past been kidnapped and ransoms were paid and they were released. But youths of these days kidnap and kill their victims even when they have collected ransom.
