Mrs. Soludo called for calm to allow authorities to carry out proper investigation into the matter and assured the general public of right and timely updates on the case.
She insisted that Anambra State is an inhabitable environment for abusers of any form, stressed that the current administration takes such issues seriously and goes the extra mile to ensure that offenders are severely punished.

The Governor’s wife while re-assuring that she will continue to use the instrumentality of her non-governmental movement to create better awareness and education on social causes.
