Nine persons who allegedly participated in the attack against the former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, have been arrested.

Soludo was last month attacked by gunmen at his community, Isuofia in Aguata Local Government Area, during an interactive session with youths of the community.

Three policemen were killed during the attack, while a commissioner in Anambra State, Mr Emeka Ezenwanne, was abducted by the gunmen, but was later released.

The Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, Wednesday announced that nine of the people who allegedly participated in the attack had been arrested.

Obiano, who disclosed this at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women’s Development Centre in Awka, said: “What happened last month is unfortunate, but let me tell you, we have re-strategized and we are coming out like a smoking gun.

“We are not going to take prisoners. The nine people that attacked Prof. Soludo are in our net now. We will go after the others.

“We are not going to take prisoners any longer. A special squad have already been put together, and they are already working everywhere.” (THISDAY)
