EKO HOT BLOG reports that forty-eight hours after the killing of a lawmaker, Hon. Okechukwu Okoye, who represented Aguata II constituency at the Anambra State House of Assembly, gunmen have vowed to kill more lawmakers in the state.

The late lawmaker’s head was found in Aguata with a note in Nnobi, Idemili South Local Government Area of the state seven days after he was abducted.

In the note found with the decapitated head of the lawmaker, who was abducted on May 15, the killers reportedly threatened that more heads would roll.

Daily Trust quoted a resident as saying that the note reads partly, “everywhere you go, you cannot hide anywhere. We will go after you one by one because soldiers and police is (sic) no longer our problem.”

Killings and arson perpetrated by gunmen, who attack police stations and set government properties ablaze in the southeast, especially in Anambra state have been on the rise recently.

You would recall that the state governor, Charles Soludo in his inauguration promised to proffer solutions to the insecurity challenges in the state.

The governor in his speech also offered an olive branch to the hoodlums that kidnap, kill and destroy properties in the state, but despite this, the gunmen continue to attack local government areas and public properties.
