2025: Group predicts Political Violence, shootings, killings in Anambra Guber polls

From Chinelo Kodilichukwu Enugu

A group known as International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law has predicted that the forthcoming November 2025 Anambra state governorship election maybe marred by Political Violence, shootings, killings, property destructions.

The Board Chairman of the group, INTERSOCEITY, Emeka Umeagbalasi made this known in a Press conference Held In Enugu at New Heaven Suite.

He said: “Further findings showed that poll rigging enablers and their allied violent forces seeking to unseat the incumbent Governor Charles Soludo will launch their ferocious attacks into Anambra State from their Safe Haven in Imo State where they currently operate and terrorize unchecked, untracked, and uncaught”.

“It is our investigative projection that unless extremely urgent steps are taken, if not, Anambra will be enveloped by an unprecedented sponsored and counter-sponsored political violence including political assassinations and attempted assassinations, disappearances and abductions, including abduction for ransom; as well as property burnings such as targeted and general burning of automobiles and houses belonging to political parties and political actors.

“Open killing and shooting of defenseless citizens is also likely; to create general atmosphere of panics and fears. Apart from Imo Safe Haven violent forces expected to unleash political violent attacks on Anambra State or any part thereof, the Government of Anambra State under Prof Charles Soludo is strongly suspected to be amassing “counter-attack arsenal” from the State’s dreaded “Anti Tout Killer” and “Anambra Vigilante Killer Squads”; controlled by the State Ministry of Homeland Security under “Commissioner Anara” and possibly allied others under “Anambra Governor’s CSO”.

He therefore stated that the Incumbent Government of Anambra May resort to “Guided Voting” in place of “Widespread Credible Voting” which has remained the stock-in-trade of the APGA-led Government of Anambra State since 2017, during which the transactional “no election in Anambra” was introduced; paving way for “Guided Voting” in the end.
