Governor of Abia State, Okezie
Ikpeazu, has held a closed door meeting with traditional rulers in the State
and the General Officer Commanding (GOC) commanding the 82 Division of the
Nigerian Army Enugu, Major General A.B. Abubakar.
According to a statement signed
by Enyinnaya Appolos, the Chief Press Secretary to Ikpeazu, the Governor and
the traditional rulers appealed to the GOC to reduce military presence in the
state, particularly at Aba and Umuahia, as tension in the areas have gone down.
Appolos further disclosed that, "the Nigerian Police and other security agencies should ensure that those who
are brought into Abia from other states, in order to cause trouble and engage
in acts capable of causing breach of law and order, should be prevented from entering
the State.
“That traditional rulers should
further liaise with HRH Eze I.O Kanu (father of Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB) to further explore ways of restoring peace
and normalcy.
“That Abians and those who do
business in the state should go about their normal businesses without fear of
molestation, while desisting from acts capable of causing the breach of peace
in the state.”
