Anambra 2021: Major Hotspots For Violence Police, Army Should Look Out For
The expectations are high amid palpable fear and tension among voters and residents as the Anambra governorship election is just days away.

This of course coincides with disturbing reports of violence and even the killing of policemen by gunmen in some LGAs.

Meanwhile, concerning the forthcoming election, National Security Adviser (NSA) Babagana Moguno has warned persons who are planning to make trouble during the election to have a rethink.
Moguno said:
“We want to offer brotherly advice to our brothers who want to destabilise the process to think again; we are all eager to achieve results that will be acceptable to everybody. I don’t think it will be right for anyone to ignite a crisis. Please, think again.
“The law enforcement agencies will not sit by idly and allow people to terrorise people, commit homcide. They have been told to watch out for these elements. I am appealing to you to stay in your wards and behave yourself. Anyone that wants to disrupt the process will be brought to book.”
