Guber: Abia government calls on security agents to arrest instigators of terror, insecurity

In a bid to unravel those behind  instigating terror and insecurity in the state, the Abia government has called on the security agents to arrest the alleged instigators of terror and insecurity in Abia state.

The state government noted that its attention was been drawn to videos arising from two press briefings conducted by individuals suspected to have been hired by opposition elements who were roundly defeated in the last governorship election.

According to the press statement issued and signed by Mr Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, in the first press conference, a group of few young men had alleged that Governor Alex Otti was using Abia funds to sponsor the litigation of the LP presidential candidate in the last election Mr. Peter Obi. 

He further stressed that in the second press conference, another group of strange fellows alleged that the four-month old government of Dr. Alex Otti was sponsoring the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to cause terror in the state.

“They went further to call for the Abia Governorship Election Petition Tribunal not to deliver judgement in the state because the Abia state government had allegedly concluded plans to intimidate the Justices to deliver judgement in favour of Governor Alex Otti.”

Ekeoma maintained that the allegations were weighty and have the propensity to cause disaffection, insecurity, breakdown of law and order, and even endanger the lives and property of innocent citizens.
