Abia State leaders sent out another warning to local chiefs. They must not let bad guys hide in their areas. The government plans to keep an eye on these chiefs going forward. This message came straight from the top on Wednesday.
Information head Okey Kanu talked to news people after a big meeting with Governor Alex Otti. He said community leaders need to stay alert and tell police about any strange people moving around. The safety of everyone depends on this help from local leaders. Anyone who helps criminals will face the same trouble as the criminals themselves.
Kanu mentioned that kidnappers recently let go of a rich business person from the Ukwa East area. He didn't share many details about what happened during this crime. The government wants all citizens to keep their eyes open for danger. Local chiefs must do their job of watching over the places they lead.
The official made it clear that helping criminals brings serious problems. "If we catch you hiding bad people, we'll treat you like one of them," he stated. Kanu also reminded bus and taxi drivers about the new vehicle registration program. Law officers will soon start checking for proper papers on all commercial cars and trucks.
