Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra has banned the use of vehicles with tinted glasses and touting as part of measures to curtail insecurity in the state.

Obiano in a statement in Awka on Monday also directed security agents to clampdown on cultists and their activities.

“Security agencies are hereby directed to arrest anybody hanging on the road with sticks and molesting innocent citizens and drivers,” Obiano said.

He observed that within the past week, the state has witnessed targeted attacks on security personnel and facilities in the state by hoodlums.

“So far, Police and Navy personnel on official duties at strategic checkpoints in various locations in the state were sporadically attacked, killed and their firearms taken away.

“Also, prison and police personnel conveying an inmate to court were equally attacked and killed.

“Anambra State Government categorically condemns these attacks on our security personnel and is doing everything possible to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

“Those who attack us are obviously intent on distorting the peace and security we have enjoyed in Anambra in the past seven years and we will not allow that.

“I have, therefore, directed all security agencies in the state, vigilance services, all task forces and every structure in the state security infrastructure to rise in defence of our dear state.

“I hereby raise the security alert in the state and I commit to restoring order and security immediately,” he said.
