Anambra State has come under security threat again with the invasion of the premises of the Anambra Broadcasting Service, Wada, Onitsha station by unknown gunmen, on Monday.
The Tide learnt that the gunmen burnt a building, a company bus and another vehicle parked at the premises of the station and injured some workers on duty.
The hoodlums also threatened to cause more mayhem in the weeks ahead should residents continue to ignore the sit-at-home order.
The gunmen, in a statement in Awka, warned that residents should respect the sit-at-home order or face the consequences.
The threat has instilled fear in the residents with schools, markets, shops and banks shut in compliance with the sit-at-home order.
Commercial buses, tricycle operators and motorcycle operators also observed the sit-at-home from Awka to Onitsha, Ekwulobia and Nnewi Cities.
The statement reads: “Since you people don’t want to respect our order because of what your leaders are telling you, wait and see in the next few weeks.
“We are going to visit some local government areas to tell the people how serious we are. Everybody will feel it soon. We are not going to talk about it again”.
The State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has, however, assured that he was working towards the enthronement of peace and security in the state.
Soludo gave the assurance while speaking at the Second Session of the 6th Synod of the Diocese of Aguata, Anglican Communion on Sunday.
