Alex Otti, Governor of Abia State, has warned traditional rulers, landlords, and heads of organisations in the state again not to tolerate criminal activities in and around their domains.
The Governor, who issued the warning during his New Year address to Abians, stated that his government will discipline any royal father, community leader, landlord, or head of organisation discovered harbouring or tolerating criminals in and around their communities.
He asked Abians to report any suspected criminal or criminal activity to security agencies as soon as possible for appropriate action.
According to the Governor:
“Let me repeat my earlier warning that the State government shall not look kindly to any traditional or community leader, landlord or head of any organization who harbours criminals.
“Any tolerance, subtle or open support for crime in any part of the state would be seen as an act of sabotage and the government would not hesitate to do what it must do to protect the lives of its citizens.”
