INSECURITY IN ABIA STATE NIGERIA

by Emeka Ndukwe
(Aba)

For the past Ten months now, Abia State has been experiencing the highest level of insecurity. On daily basis, hourly, minute and seconds, there has been Kidnappings all over the entire state; more expecially in the Aba region.

This has affected businesses, development and people not visiting Aba for fear of beign kidnnaped.

The targeted people are however the Rich, parents who laboured and passed through hard times to see to the well being of thier children; now reaping the fruit of their labour, public office holders, even those serving in the Government of Abia state at different levels.

The worries of most people resident at Aba and its environs are the insensitivity of the Abia state Government, The Nigerian Police, and the Federal Government at large.

We are calling for A state of Emergency to be declared by the federal government on Abia state without further delay, as the chief Executive officer of the state is not capable of administering the affairs of the state by protecting its citizens.

Moreso, the Commissioner of police and all the Area commanders of police in Abia state should be changed.

The AIG of Police for the zone should also be changed as they all have failed in their civic responsibily in serving the public.

The government of Theodor Orji has failed in his political mandate to give maximum security to the people of Abia State.
