Threats from gunmen to push Gov. Soludo to step down

Some suspected Eastern Security Network (ESN) members have threatened to assassinate Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo in order to compel his resignation.

They forewarned that they would make the State unruly for him because he has chosen to utilize the police and military to chase them.

The Nation got a voicemail from one of the ESN leaders, who described himself as “Okwute” (Awka North and South Commander), threatening to carry out more killings in the State.

If the doctor doesn’t cooperate with them, the ESN leader threatens to go to his hospital and kill everyone there.

He added that he had not backed their Biafra mission and that he had watched the doctor and his activities in the community.

He asked, “Do you believe in Biafra? How much have you contributed to the cause since we first launched this project? Some of you are undermining our efforts in Igboland.

How much money are you prepared to spend to help us in our mission? We will offer you a link to an account where you can deposit N500,000 or ignore it.

The irate ESN Commander threatened to close down his facility after the renowned doctor pledged to deposit N20,000 into their account.

We’re going to make Anambra uninhabitable for Governor Soludo so that he would be compelled to retire because he has threatened to hunt us down with the Police and Army in this state, the voice said.

Ikenga Tochukwu, the spokesman for the Anambra Police, said that the voicemail should be reported to any nearby station after being given the opportunity to listen to it.

According to the PPRO, the report will give the Command the ability to conduct appropriate investigations.
