“While maintaining a firm stance against any form of touting in the State, the government has called for a thorough investigation into the said video.

“In this era of AI and sophisticated disinformation, we urge members of the public to always verify media content before spreading or holding the same as true.

The Soludo administration is committed to upholding the rights and dignity of every lawful citizen and resident of Anambra and will not allow any person or group to infringe, or inflict pains unduly upon lawful citizens.”

He assured members of the public of the state’s commitment to maintaining law and order and will always be guided by the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for human rights.
