Speaking at the occasion, Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu who was accompanied by the State Commissioner of Police, Leye Oyebade and the Commanding Officer, 144 Battalion, Asa, Lt. Col. Kassim Umar Sidi, stated that Abia is not safe for kidnappers as his administration will do all within its powers to protect lives and property.
Ikpeazu who saluted the gallantry of the security agencies in killing and arresting some kidnappers, vowed that the full weight of the law would be visited on anybody involved in kidnapping in the state and warned landlords to ensure that they protect their buildings and premises from being used as hideouts by kidnappers.
