Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, in October reiterated that the days of touts in the state are numbered and a full blown war has been declared on them.
He maintained that in an environment where lawlessness has become a culture, bringing back law and order will be difficult.
Governor Soludo made the statement during the launching of the Anambra Special Anti-Touting Squad held at Upper Iweka, Onitsha.
Mid November, Chibuzor Okoye of ABS News reported that SASA Arrested 413 Touts, Sets Of "One Chance" Criminal Gangs, Illegal Revenue Collectors In Onitsha, Environs
The report claimed that the Anambra Anti-Touting Squad (SASA) within one week apprehended 413 touts, illegal revenue collector's and four sets of "one chance" criminal gangs in Onistha and it's environs.
In the past few days, a video of the rehabilitation of the arrested touts made rounds on social media platforms in the state as they are forced to sing the Governor’s praise by Homeland Antitouting Unit in ANAMBRA state. The de-radicalization approach has also drawn criticisms as it reflects a similar old terrifying video that showcased the experiences of Okuzu SARS inmates inmates in the state that formed part of the ENDSARS protests nationwide.
Nonetheless, the notorious activities of these touts and criminals cause loads of harms and many times cost innocent persons their lives/livelihoods.
