According to the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo on Community Security, Prince Ken Emeakayi, Security agencies are to commence the arrest of local government chairmen and other influential individuals still parading the already proscribed operatives of the defunct Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG), as no such organization exists anymore in the state.
Disclosing a one-day interface with private security outfits in the state at the old government house in Awka, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo on Community Security, Prince Ken Emeakayi, stated categorically that there is nothing like Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG) anymore because the law establishing it was repealed about a year ago.
Emeakayi maintained that it is absolutely wrong and illegal for any person, irrespective of his or her social or political standing, to parade or brandish AVGs as security operatives because it would amount to a contempt of the law because Anambra, according to him, now has an official state security outfit called Agunechemba, which he said replaced the proscribed AVGs.
Emeakayi warned that the government will be very serious about it and that, sooner or later, a joint security taskforce comprising the Police, DSS, Civil Defense, and Agunechemba would be on the streets and any person using AVG operatives would be arrested and their vehicles confiscated, emphasizing that there is nothing in Anambra State called AVG.
