The Government of Abia State says it has uncovered plots by renegade members of a non-state group to attack and kidnap prominent persons in the State,
including public office holders, traditional rulers, members of the clergy, and hold them as human shield and ransom for negotiations.
According to the Government, “while we strongly admonish those behind the dastardly plot to desist from it, we advise such high profile personalities mentioned above to exercise utmost vigilance while going about their normal duties as security agents in the country are on the trail of the arrowheads of the plot with a view to nipping it in the bud and bring those involved to justice”.
In the meantime, Wogu Alozie, a director in the Abia State Ministry of Education has been arrested by men of Nigeria police over illegal collection of five hundred naira from students of Primary and Secondary schools in the State without the approval of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu. The Abia Government advised those who pad salaries, hide under the cover of government to defraud people or engage in other forms of corruption, in their own interest, to have a rethink or be prepared taste the sour waters of the law.
