The Anambra State Commissioner for Homeland Security, Chikodili Anara has dismissed the allegation against him by the Indigenous People of
He said, “In 2022, Emma Powerful called me and told me he had a story against me. He demanded that I pay him money to drop the publication. He later called again and told me the same story, which I ignored.
“He has been out to blackmail me, and has been calling me since then, and I have told him expressly that I will never part with a Kobo. Today, he has gotten his friends, and two brothers who are involved in a murder case here in Isuaniocha, Awka North Local Government Area and they are sponsoring him to write against me.
“I am not surprised about the write-up. The truth is that Emma Powerful is doing a paid job. I have severally invited him if he is genuine, to come for a meeting, if he thinks he can help solve the problem of insecurity we are facing in the state. “I need to inform Emma Powerful that the Anambra Vigilante Group has existed for many years before I came into office and was not created because of IPOB which is a new and recent creation.”
He therefore called on Emma Powerful, to make himself visible for a proper dialogue on how to end insecurity in the entire South-East region.All rights reserved.
