The Anambra State government has promised to hunt down the gunmen who attacked the convoy of the Chief of Staff to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Dr Ben Nwankwo, on Sunday night.
Nwankwo, a former federal lawmaker who was recently confirmed as an aide of the governor, was attacked by unidentified gunmen, who killed his friend and two security operatives attached to him.
Though the police had promised to ensure that the gunmen were tracked down, Anambra State government in a statement by Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, said no stone will be left unturned.
The statement read: “This was more than an attack on one person. It was an attack on the peace, security, and democratic order of our state, as well as the Government and people of Anambra.
“Sadly, four people lost their lives and deserve justice and Anambra State Government sends its deepest condolences to the families of those who died and share in their grief.
“This isolated incident after more than one year of peace and security in the state will not affect our determination to remove all forms of crime from Anambra.
“The police and other security agencies are working to find and to bring everyone involved in this evil act to justice.
“Anambra State government is shocked by the attack on the convoy of the chief of staff to the governor. The incident happened on Sunday night, May 31st, 2026, between 8:00pm and 9:00 pm at the Orumba North–Awka South borders, while he returning from an official assignment.”
