A group, Umu-Aba Connect, has commended the efforts of
the Abia State Government led by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and the
security personnel in the state on their efforts in securing Aba... With
the Easter Day killing of two kidnappers and arrest of One.
The
group in a statement made available by its Vice President,
Mr. Chima Desmond Anyaso, however, called on the federal government to
intervene and put a stop to the problem by providing adequate logistics
for the security agents in the state to arrest the situation.
According
to the statement, “From our findings the security agents are left with
little or no logistics to tackle this menace and this is why the members
of Umu-Aba Connect wish to express our sadness with the various
kidnapping incidents in Aba.
The
group also advised the security agencies in city and environs to work
together in order not to allow Aba return to the days of kidnapping and
other violent crimes which made people to flee the city.
“We
also want to also use this medium to call on the residents of our great
city Aba, to support security agents by giving information of suspected
individuals and movements within their neighbourhoods.
Since
January 2016, the group disclosed that kidnappers had devised a means
of escaping with their victims without confrontation with the security
agents. “We encourage all residents of our dear city to join the fight
to make Aba a safe city.
The
prominent Umu-Aba Connect group promised to support the state
government and security agents on possible areas of assistance to get
rid of kidnappers and other atrocities in the city and beyond.
The
group also urged the state and federal government not to relent on the
issue, saying “no one would want to witness the kidnapping incidents
which swept through Aba between 2009 and 2010. Many people who were
seized by the kidnappers lost their lives while others paid ransom
before regaining freedom. Aba, then, became a ghost town.”
