The Abia Government in a release signed by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Barrister Chris Ezem and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, directed the leadership of the various unions of tricycles operators to fish out the criminal elements among them and handover same to security agents.<\/p>\n

The Government equally advised the leadership of the unions to report any suspicious activity around them, adding that the State will not compromise the relative peace being enjoyed by Abians and its residents.<\/p>\n

The State Government further advised applicants for the National Identity Card not to release their Bank Verification Numbers to anyone in the course of the on-going registration as this information was not required by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).<\/p>\n

According to the Abia Government, this was necessary to avoid hacking of individuals\u2019 accounts by fraudsters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
