The candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), in the November 8, 2025 Anambra governorship election, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has condemned the assault and dehumanisation of a corps member, Jennifer Elobor by the operatives of Agunechemba in Oba Idemili South LGA, Anambra state.
In a statement he personally signed, Chukwuma said it’s appalling that the security operatives, who were meant to protect the people, have become a thorn in their flesh.
He regretted that such barbaric action in found in a state governed by a professor.
“Similar barbaric behaviour, like the strange abuse of this lady by members of Udogachi, has continued to be meted out to unsuspecting members of the public in Anambra State, to the chagrin of all sane minds”, he said.
“I am appalled by this absurdity, which has, unfortunately, become the daily experience of Ndi Anambra who are held hostage in their homeland by a security outfit set up to protect them.”
The YPP candidate said it’s thoughtless that the state governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has never deemed it necessary to call these people to order.
According to him, the government’s carefree attitude has further exacerbated the abuse by this setup, always in the news for extorting Ndi Anambra, killing them, or abusing them, yet insecurity in the State has continued to escalate.
While noting that this particular incident must not be swept under the carpet, like the ones before it, Chukwuma called on the Government of Anambra State to take a firm stance against these public abusers and bring them to justice.
He also called on the security agencies to ensure that these abusers are not only rounded up, but are compelled to face the law.
