Mr Soludo's administration, which is about nine months old, has twice called on gunmen in the state to lay down their arms in exchange of amnesty and rehabilitation.
The killings occurred on the first and second day of the New Year in the Okpuno community, Awka South Local Government Area, and the Obosi community, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
Mr Soludo, who described the killings as cult-related, assured that the culprits would be apprehended and made to face the law. He said Anambra State had enjoyed the best Christmas ever in decades with a new system of traffic control put in place by the government, Anambra Youth Volunteers and the Anambra State Traffic Management Agency.
“He assures that the perpetrators will be apprehended and decisively dealt with, even if they have run out of town. He stressed that they will be hunted down to face the full wrath of the law.
