… Anambra gov visits victims of latest attack
Determined to end the incessant border clashes at the Anam­bra, Kogi states bound­ary communities, which have claimed many lives, Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has reached out to his Kogi State counterpart, Idris Wada.
Disclosing this yesterday, when he visited the injured victims of the latest attack, Governor Obiano said he was initiating measures to ensure enduring solution to the incessant attacks on Anambra border communi­ties. The victims, who were from Aguleri in Anambra State, were attacked on Monday afternoon by gun­men from Kogi State, at a fishing community of Agul­eri-Otu, in Anambra East Local Government Area.
Governor Obiano, who sympathised with the vic­tims at a private hospital in Onitsha, said: “We are working out comprehen­sive strategy and modalities to entrench lasting peace and check excesses of the miscreants. The attack has nothing to do with the oil producing area as some people claim, but an ag­gression by some misguid­ed persons.”
He noted that the gover­nor of Kogi State had apol­ogised over the unfortunate incident and warned youths in the neigbouring commu­nities to desist from such unprovoked aggression.
Obiano directed the im­mediate transfer of all the victims to Saint Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onit­sha, for better treatment, as­suring that the state govern­ment would foot the entire hospital bill.
The governor, however, urged the people of Aguleri to remain calm and not to take laws into their hands as the government was al­ready on top of the situa­tion.

Obiano, Wada move to end Anambra, Kogi border communities’ attacks
