Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra has approved the training of the Nigeria Forest Security Service (NFSS) operatives as part of the state’s Udo Ga Achi (Peace will reign) security operations to be launched this month.
The Deputy Commander-General of NHFSS in charge of Intelligence, Dr John Metchie, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja yesterday. Metchie expressed gratitude to the governor for incorporating NFSS into the state security architecture. He expressed confidence that with the forest guards working in partnership with other security agents, Anambra forests and bushes would be rescued from unknown gunmen, saying that criminals had no hiding place anymore.
The deputy commander also commended Soludo for initiating the Udo Ga Achi Security Operations in Anambra, describing it as a right step taken in the right direction.
According to him, Anambra is coming back to be the safest state in Nigeria with such a courageous move by the governor.
“Those calling for the governor’s resignation due to insecurity should be patient because security is not politics, and Soludo is working assiduously to improve the security situation in the state.
“By involving forest guards in the mission to reclaim Anambra from criminals, people will see a positive change in the polity,” he said.
Metchie also admonished other South East governors to borrow a leaf from Soludo’s security strategy by involving forest guards in their security operations to secure the forests and bushes from malignant forces and criminal elements. He urged the presidency to fast-track assent on the bill establishing the Nigerian Forest Security Service (NFSS).
