Anambra State Government has raised the alarm over alleged
plot to arrest its officials on trumped-up charges, as a plot to weaken the
chances of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Saturday’s election.
A press release by the Anambra State government, signed by
the commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba
said the plot was being hatched by an unnamed political party.
He said some actors in the unnamed political party planned
to use instrument of state to carry out their plot, even without the knowledge
of the security chiefs in the State.
The release, which was made available said: “The Anambra State Government has received credible intelligence reports about moves by members of a certain political party to use the instrumentality of the state to arrest key officials of the State Government anytime on trumped-up charges, so as to hijack the gubernatorial election holding on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
“One of the meetings was on how to use the coercive
apparatus of the state to carry out this plot has just been held in Awka, the
Anambra State capital.
“None of the heads of national security agencies is aware of
this plot. The desperate politicians want to use certain compromised operatives
working without the knowledge, let alone the support, of the national heads of
the security agencies to perpetrate this act.”
It added that: “This announcement is to bring the evil plans
to the knowledge of all Anambra people but also to the attention of all
relevant authorities for prompt action.
“All our people are enjoined to go about their normal
business while the State Government takes every necessary action to ensure a
free, fair and transparent election on Saturday. The elections in the State in
the last few years have been very free and fair. We will continue to do
everything possible to maintain the new tradition of free and fair polls.”
