A senior personel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, James Mbam have need arrested in Ebonyi for allegedly smuggling two persons into the state.
Mr Emegha noted that the NSCDC personnel who was arrested by the members of the Ebonyi State Neighbourhood Security Watch was arrested at Timber shade axis of the Afikpo/Abakaliki Express road in Afikpo North Local Government Area. The Commissioner noted that in line with the state government’s policy that any indigene of Ebonyi State that gets to the boundary should not be sent back, they were taken to the withholding centre.
Mr Okoro said the NSCDC official, however, denied bringing the two passengers from outside the state. “Though we are yet to ascertain the fact of where the two passengers are coming from, we had to immediately move them to the withholding centre at the Abakaliki township stadium where they have been quarantined until a test would be carried out on them to ascertain if they have the coronavirus or not”.
Oko Enyim stated that there should be a security beef up at the Ishiagu boundary to compliment the effort of those working at the Amasiri and Timber shade checkpoints in Afikpo North LGA.
