The Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the Red Chambers, Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has condemned in its entirety the attack on Prof Soludo and the resultant effect, which is the shooting of policemen and abduction of Engr Emeka Ezenwanne, the Commissioner of Public Utility in the state.

In a press release made available by Hon.

The senator said that "I was totally saddened and appalled by this barbaric act which is condemnable in its entirety. This ugly trend is totally unacceptable and must be nipped in the bud as the recurrent spate of killings in Anambra has set a dangerous precedent which tends to paint a picture of insecurity and total crackdown of peace and order in the State."


"The primary responsibility of the State Government is the security and welfare of the people.
