Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Security at Umunneochi, Abia State, has commended Governor Alex Otti, for the steps he has taken in restoring security and order in Abia.<\/p>\n

The security measures, the Committee observed, included the recent demolition of criminals\u2019 hideouts at the Lokpanta cattle market area of Umunneochi.<\/p>\n

The House of Reps Committee which was led by Obi Aguocha, a member representing the Ikwuano\/Umuahia Federal constituency, made the commendation during its visit to Governor Otti, to brief him on the Committee\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

Some of the Committee members, who spoke during the visit, recalled their encounter with those they interacted with during a town hall meeting, held in the course of the Committee\u2019s assignment.<\/p>\n

They noted that stakeholders in the market requested the fencing of the Cattle market, to stem off criminals.<\/p>\n

Responding, governor Otti thanked the lawmakers for their efforts, stressing that criminality knew no tribe or religion.<\/p>\n

He made it clear that \u2018state of origin\u2019 has no place in his administration, as according to him, every resident of the state is treated as an Abia indigene.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Government knows no Northerner, Southerner, Easterner. We believe that anybody who is a Nigerian should be protected.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment can never happen when there is insecurity. We want to develop our place and the best thing to do is to ensure that our people are secured,\u201d Otti said.<\/p>\n

He reiterated his earlier pledge during his meeting with the Northern community, that his government would support the vulnerable people among them, who may not have the means to rent houses outside the market.<\/p>\n

Otti, however, revealed that his government would not set up a separate community for a particular set or group of people.<\/p>\n

According to the Governor, they should live together to know what their neighbours are doing.<\/p>\n

He further stated that part of the strategic moves by the Abia State government to permanently restore security and order in Umunneochi is the conversion of the Lokpanta cattle market to a daily and general purpose market, where people can purchase other items like electronics, textile materials and food items.<\/p>\n
