Those Perpetrating Violent Crime, Destructions Have Been Tracked Down- Enugu Govt
Enugu State Government says that many enemies of the State, who hide under freedom agitation to perpetrate destruction and violent crimes, as well as those who engage in scaremongering through fake videos and images, have been tracked down, apprehended and are being brought to book.
The State Government urged residents to continue their work and normal business on Friday and disregard the illegal one-week sit-at-home order by Biafra agitator Samuel Ekpa.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Chidiebere Onyia, the Government urged residents to volunteer information to the authorities on any suspicious person and movement as well as those who use social media to spread rumours and instigate panic.
“The Enugu State Government wishes to remind citizens and residents of the State that work, business, schooling and other legitimate endeavours will continue Friday, July 7, 2023.
“The Government directs offices, schools, business premises, and markets- including Ogbete Main Market, among others, to open for business. Failure to comply with this directive will be deemed as willful undermining of the Government’s policy and efforts to restore full working days, productivity, and entrepreneurship in the State, and will as such be met with appropriate sanctions.
“Government urges members of the public to disregard any scaremongers and go about their businesses, as security measures are fully in place to continue to enforce law and order and safeguard lives and property.
“It is noteworthy that many enemies of Enugu State and Igbo land, the hoodlums, anarchists, and criminal elements, who hide under freedom agitation to perpetrate destruction, violent crimes, as well as those who engage in scaremongering through fake videos and images, have been tracked down, apprehended and are being brought to book.
“We are winning the war and therefore call on Ndi Enugu to volunteer information to the authorities on any suspicious person and movement as well as those who use social media to spread rumours and instigate panic among the members of the public.”
