- Professor Soludo‘s recent tragic experience in his country home of Isuofia has prompted the Anambra State Government to issue a warning to politicians and their cronies.
The note, issued in a press release signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, follows a flurry of comments on the tragedy shunned by political operatives on social media, whose posts did not accurately reflect the former CBN governor’s traumatic experience, nor did they show any concern for the slain police officers or their families.
The statement reads, “The Anambra State Government has maintained careful and dignified silence on the tragedy which occurred in Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area, on March 31 when a group of armed young men invaded the premises of the town’s Civic Centre where Professor Chukwuma Soludo, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a leading APGA aspirant in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State, was holding talks with the youth of the area.
“Three police officers who were providing protection at the event were murdered in cold blood, and the Anambra State Commissioner for Public Utilities, Mr Emeka Ezenwanne, an engineer and a native of the area, was kidnapped by the gunmen.

“We have refrained from making a public statement because a disaster of this magnitude was unknown in the state in the last seven years, when it deservedly won the title of Nigeria’s safest and most stable state.
The government has been preoccupied with rescuing Mr. Ezenwanne, bringing the perpetrators of the tragedy to justice, and ensuring that such a tragedy does not occur again in our state.
“We are, however, breaking our silence because of the determined attempt by some politicians in the state to politicize the Isuofia tragedy. Just 48 hours after the incident, the politicians had begun to make all manner of statements through their minions on the social media.
