The Abia State Commissioner of Police (CP), Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, has suggested that the state government turn some of the state’s identified criminal and illicit activity hotspots into productive hubs. Onwuemelie made this recommendation after inspecting and assessing volatile areas in Umuahia North Council Local Council with the council’s Chairman, Victor Ikeji. They also visited the bicycle repair workshop behind Okigwe Park in Umuah.
The CP emphasised the rationale for transforming these locations, claiming that the state can foster a safer environment that promotes economic growth and development.
He said: “Abia State Police Command. remains committed to collaborating with local council authorities and other stakeholders to implement effective security measures by addressing root causes of crime and implementing strategic interventions.”
