The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has urged Gov. Charles Soludo to urgently set up Anambra Youth Security Guard to secure their communities.
Mr. Goodluck Ibem, President-General, COSEYL, made the call in a statement in Awka on Sunday, while reacting to the killing of a lawmaker, Dr. Okechukwu Okoye representing Aguata Constituency Il in the state Assembly, by gunmen.
Ibem said that the youth security outfit should be fully funded to secure and protect their communities, saying that only the owner of the land knows his land better than a foreigner.
He described the killing of the lawmaker as wicked, barbaric, and senseless, adding that no sane society would accept such an act of wickedness perpetrated by the criminals.
