The Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has placed a total ban on bush burning in the state as security agencies are advised to fish out defaulters for prosecution.
This is following a recent fire outbreak at Nsulu Games Village in Isiala Ngwa North LGA and other areas of the state.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu and made available to ABN TV on Tuesday, this ban has become necessary to protect lives and property from avoidable fire disasters as well as preserve our natural habitat.
“The Fire Service and security agencies in the state are by this notice directed to ensure full compliance and prosecution of defaulters according to relevant laws” the statement read.
