The Role Of Vigilante In Enduring An Enduring Security In Anambra State

There is a popular saying that where there is will, there is a way.
This has been proven to be true by the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, Ebekuedike.
The security of Anambra State which has hitherto defied all known solutions was achieved within weeks of Obiano’s assumption of office.
The undaunting determination of the Governor to rid the state of criminals paid off with the establishment of operation kpochapu. A proper motivation was provided to law enforcement agents through supply of vehicles and a huge financial support. The resultant effect is the security that is now enjoyed in the state.
There is need to build on the current security to ensure it becomes enduring. Efforts need to be made to ensure that criminals that have fled the state do not return.
