Since some brothels were recently shut down and Umunneochi is now peaceful, Governor Otti claimed that prostitution, the drug trade, and other illegal vices surrounding the Lokpanta Cattle Market made the raid necessary.
The Governor said that the Lokpanta market, which he had requested be turned into a daily market with an opening and closing time of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., would now be a general market with portions reserved for cattle dealers and other companies.
In an attempt to guarantee proper security, he continued, his administration is likewise enclosing the market.
He said that his administration decided to make the market a daily event because the Lokpanta area was known for kidnapping and armed robbery.
Despite misunderstandings about the policy, he added, everyone agreed with the government’s position that the market should be open every day for the benefit of all parties during a discussion with market leaders.
In addition, he guarantees that he would eradicate all forms of insecurity from Abia State and states that no government can survive in the face of violence, kidnapping, armed robbery, and instability.
According to Otti, technology will be placed at key locations to protect people and property within the State.
He continued by saying that his administration is prepared to make sure that the people of Abeam have a wonderful Christmas this year and that “this government will not get involved in supporting insecurity.” We’ll position our gadgets at key locations.
