The Abia State House of Assembly has passed a resolution calling on the security agencies in the state to rise up to the resurgence of criminal activities in the two major cities of Aba and Umuahia. This is even as the House decried the incessant cases of car snatching, theft and report of missing persons in the state.
The resolution was passed following a matter of urgent public importance on the resurgence of car snatching and armed robbery brought before it by the member representing Umuahia East State constituency, Mr Chukwudi Apugo, during plenary. He urged the House to mandate the security agencies in the state to rise to the primary responsibility of protecting lives and property of the people especially during the yuletide.
He lamented that the situation was becoming alarming and worrisome and should not be allowed to continue, saying that the security agencies in the state should use the resources at their disposal to combat the situation and save the people the sleepless nights that have become the order of the day. In his contribution, the Speaker, Mr. Martins Azubuike, described the development as a wakeup call for the people to be concerned in things happening around them, saying that security is everyone’s business
