He said: “This attack has not only placed Anambra in an unfavourable light but has revealed the urgent need for stronger security measures across our state.

“The people of Anambra deserve safety and security. Incidents like this should serve as a wake-up call for the government to fulfil its responsibility to protect lives and restore peace to our communities,” he added.
