Nine suspected attackers of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, have been arrested in Anambra State.
Soludo was last month attacked by gunmen at his community, Isuofia in Aguata Local Government Area, during an interactive session with youths of the community.
Three of his police orderlies were killed with others injured but Soludo was shielded off the arena unhurt.
Commissioner for Public Utilities Emeka Ezenwanne was also kidnapped by the gunmen, who released him after some days.
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano on Wednesday revealed that nine of the suspected criminals who participated in the attack have now been apprehended and will not be spared.
Obiano made the revelation while speaking at the public presentation: “Governor Willie Obiano: 7 years of delivering good governance in Anambra State written by about ten persons, including Dr Emeka Arinze.
He said: “What happened last month is unfortunate, but let me tell you, we have restrategized and we are coming out like a smoking gun.
“We are not going to take prisoners. The nine people that attacked Prof Soludo are in our net now. We are going to eliminate them. We will go after the others.
“We are not going to take prisoners any longer. A special squad have already been put together, and they are already working everywhere,” Obiano said.
