Planned Attack: Ikpeazu Urges Abia Residents To Be Vigilant

Abia State governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has urged residents of the state be vigilant following intelligence report that yet to be properly identified hoodlums are planning to attack some key locations within the state soon.

The state government says security agencies have been fully mobilized and placed on high alert to thwart the planned attack and bring those concerned to justice swiftly, a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu says.

While advising members of the public to be extra vigilant, the state government urged them to ensure they are at home before the curfew hours of 8pm to 6am as well as monitor the activities of their neighbours.

The statement added, “Parents and guardians are also strongly advised to ensure that their children and wards are securely at home and not in anyway associated with the hoodlums some of whom are said to be coming from outside the state.

“Law abiding citizens are encouraged to go about their normal duties but ensure they return home before 6pm to avoid the rush associated with movement before the onset of curfew time.

“While we remain confident that the security architecture within the state is robust enough to prevent the planned attack and/or bring those involved in the plot swiftly to justice, the State Government led by Dr Okezie Ikpeazu will not spare any resource in ensuring the protection of law abiding citizens.”
