Insecurity: Do more to protect Southeast region – Uzodimma urges military
By Adeleye Kunle
The Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has called on the military to “study the topography of the South East region, introduce new techniques and do more in the protection of the citizens of the area.
Uzodinma made the call when the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division, Enugu, Major Gen. Umar T. Musa, paid him a courtesy call at the New Executive Council Chambers Government House, Owerri, Thursday.
The Governor noted that insecurity has challenged the government so much and it will “continue to encourage the military and other arms of the Armed Forces to help the government bring peace and ensure security to the South East.”
Governor Uzodimma said that “all efforts being made to stamp them out criminality has been futile as they are adamant in their activities of destroying government property, killing innocent citizens, burning down police stations and generally retarding development in the zone.”
He used the opportunity to commend the Commanding Officer in charge of 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze, Bridg. Gen. S. Sulaiman whom he said has done a lot of work with his men in the fight against banditry and criminality, where even some of the military men paid the supreme price in the course of duty
