Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has condemned the worsening insecurity in the State and urged the Nigeria Police Force to step up.
He made this known on Friday during the inauguration of the Ebonyi State Community Policing Advisory Committees at Ecumenical centre, Abakaliki, the state capital.
He said: “Police is more active in the day than in the night. CP, I want to see SARS in the night the much I see them during the day. I want to see the Safer Highway in the night and see them in the day; not that they have not done very well, but we have to remain the best.”
He also asked Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to remove Ebonyi from the newly created zone 13, noting it was comfortable remaining in zone 9.
He said: “I don’t know who smuggled us to Awka; I have no idea, we cannot be in Awka,”
“I have a little disagreement with the AIG, Zone 13 in Awka; we cannot belong to Awka. You must know your level to succeed in life. I moved our people from Calabar into Umuahia, I don’t know who smuggled us back to Awka; I have no idea, we cannot be in Awka.
“One, the roads; two, insecurity, our people going there; three, is so much money around that place, we don’t have. Let us be in Umuahia with our little money. We are in Umuahia, we cannot go to Nnewi.”
