‎Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State made a comment during a speech in Maryland, United States, where he claimed that about 99% of all the arrested kidnappers in the state are Igbos, not Fulani herdsmen.
‎
‎The statement, made on July 7 during his U.S. visit, has drawn a sharp and damning response from the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), a human rights and advocacy group in Nigeria.‎Speaking in Maryland, Governor Soludo claimed,

"I have been in office for 3 years and 3 months, if we have arrested 100 cr!minals in the bush such as k!dnappers, etc, 99.9% of them are "Umuaka Igbo".
‎
‎He further mentioned that Igbo youths have embraced k!snapping as the most lucrative business after yah00 ¥ahoo, thereby dismissing the security reports about Fulani herdsmen occupying forests in Anambra as “false narratives.”
