Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has identified “conspiracy of silence” by the people as a factor fuelling criminal activities such as kidnapping for ransom and ritual killings in the state.
Soludo said this after inspecting the guard of honour and laying of wreaths in commemoration of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day on Wednesday in Awka.
“We all need to rise up and speak against what can be described as a conspiracy of silence by the people which appears to be fuelling criminal activities including kidnapping for ransom.
“These criminals are known, and they live among us; they are people’s husbands, brothers, fathers and relatives.
“Combating insecurity is a collective responsibility. If you see something, say something, to help our security agencies keep us safe.
“Our administration is committed to supporting our security agencies to do their utmost best in securing the state,” he said.
Soludo paid glowing tributes in honour of the fallen servicemen and women, taking a moment to reflect on the sacrifices they made for the nation’s freedom and security.
He encouraged Nigerians to actively support the servicemen who had served, including the gallant men and women who are still in service.
