The Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, on Friday, confirmed the arrest of gunmen who killed aides of the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ubah, in the state.
Soludo confirmed the development during his visit to Enugwu-Ukwu in Njikoka local government area of the state.
Enugwu-Ukwu is the same community where the criminals carried out the dastardly act a few weeks ago.
Ubah, who narrowly escaped in his bullet-proof car, lost four security aides and two personal assistants during the attack.
The governor revealed that security agents are on the trail of other suspects.
He said: “Three weeks ago, it was in this same community that some elements choose to attack Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. I want to tell you that we have arrested a number of those involved in that attack. We are still on the trail of the remaining people.
“We will not let people like that define who we are. This is Anambra State, and we are peaceful people. We must embrace peace, even in the coming election. Anambra is peaceful, Anambra is safe.
“We have chased away bad elements in the state. The pockets of crime you hear of are just a small number of the bad elements left. They will not disappear in one night, even in civilised places. There are still few bad elements.”
