Anambra State Government has taken an initiative to end insecurity with the launch of a special intervention force known as “Operation Udo Ga Achi” which in Igbo language means peace will prevail.
At the event in Awka, the State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo warned criminals in the state to come out from the bush, surrender, be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society or face the wrath of the law.
The launch of the security outfit was preceded by the signing into law of the Anambra State Homeland Security bill.
In his speech, Soludo told the people that the character and dynamics of criminality have evolved and as such actions to curb these must involve both kinetic and non kinetic approaches.

He observed that the use of illicit drugs remains the key enhancer of criminality and must be handled with all seriousness,
maintaining that the task of actualising a crime free society is a collective responsibility.
The governor urged community and religious leaders to be fully in charge of their areas of control.
Operational vehicles were officially handed over to the security operatives at the event.
