Addressing
a special gathering of ndi Anambra resident in Rivers and Bayelsa States at
Port Harcourt recently, Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano explained
how he tackled the problem of insecurity in the State.

below...
"Long
before I was sworn in as your Governor, I knew that my administration would not
make its mark if we didn’t find a way to tackle Security. And that was exactly
what we did. We launched Operation Kpochapu and organised an International
Security Summit that attracted a top Israeli security expert, Moshe Keinan as
the key facilitator.
"Then,
we launched an all-out war against crime and criminality in the state, pulling
down the warehouses where kidnappers kept their human cargoes and running them
out of town.
"We
were so clinical that we did not only detect and cut off their weapons supply
lines but we also tracked a notorious kidnapper to Lagos and picked him up
inside a South African bound aircraft. That sounded a loud warning to the
underworld.
"We
turned our efforts into a Regional Campaign when in August last year we
successfully hosted a Regional Security Summit for the five South Eastern states
and the Delta.
"We
figured that Anambra would be safer if other surrounding states were safe
enough.
"In
December last year, we raised the game in our security campaign when we donated
25 Smart Cars to the Nigerian Police. These cars are Command & Control
Centres with ultra-modern crime-bursting gadgets.
"We
donated a Gunboat to the Nigerian Navy to ensure a regular patrol across the
water channels and seal off all the routes used by criminals.
"We
also launched an aerial surveillance with a Police Helicopter throughout the
Yuletide Season.
"With
this last effort, we made sure that Anambra was effectively covered on the
ground, in the waters and in the skies.
"With
that effort too, Anambra became the safest state in Nigeria!" - Chief
Willie Obiano
