Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the November 8,2025 Anambra State election, Dr. George Moghalu, has condemned incessant killings in state under the watch of the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.

He also observed that worsening insecurity has taken a toll on investments and businesses development in the state since the incumbent administration took charge about three years ago.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the director of Media and Publicity of the LP governorship campaign organisation, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, shortly after the inauguration of the organisation in Awka yesterday.

Moghalu’s media team chronicled high profile politically related murders recorded under Soludo administration, as well as what it called ineffective security policies of the government.

“On security, after sleep-walking for three years, the Soludo administration woke up one morning to announce the creation of the Udo-Gachi security apparatus.

“Devoid of any form of formal training, the hoopla over its creation lasted barely two months, before the state relapsed into a killing field, with banditry, kidnapping and assassination taking full rein. The thugs he hired to fight insecurity have brazenly become terrors to the very people they were supposed to protect, unleashing unimaginable cruelty with their ‘Aka odo,’ weapon of impunity, pain and blood.

“Under his watch, no fewer than two State Assembly members (including Hon. Justice Azuka and another former member, Hon. Okechukwu Okoge, member that represented Aguata 11 Constituency in Anambra state Assembly, who was abducted in 2022, along with his personal aide just as he was entering his house in his Isuofia village in Aguata local government area. They were killed. Okoye’s severed head was later found somewhere at Nnobi where it was dumped,” Ognene, who represents Ogbaru federal constituency in the 10th National Assembly, said.
