Mefor also rubbished a claim that the state will start arresting women who don’t wear pants and bras.
He said the false claim was made by town criers who misrepresented the Anambra Homeland Security Law 2025.
This was as he directed that going forward, no town criers must operate unless they get clearance from their community’ president-generals.
Mefor lamented that the misleading statements are neither part of the new law nor are they a directive from the state government.
In a statement, he said, “This kind of false information and misrepresentation of the new law needs to end because it has the potential to cause crisis and confusion.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the new law has nothing to do with the dress code.
“The government will now consider such misinformation to be intentional and fabricated to incite the public against the new law and Agunechemba, which it established, and Operation Udo Ga-Achi, which aims to purge the state of criminality and evil native doctors, sorcerers, and idolaters who prepare Oke-Ite and similar potions and charms; those native doctors who prepare Odeshi, which gives the criminals Dutch courage with which they commit robberies, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.
“Going forward, Town Criers must now consult their communities’ Presidents-General (PGs) before broadcasting any messages, and the PGs l will be held accountable if the broadcasting of the messages misrepresents the new law or the purpose of Agunechemba and Operation Udo Ga-Achi,” he said.
