In a bid to make the State safe and secure for economic, social and other activities to thrive, the Abia State Government has warned against plans by some politicians to create chaos in the State.

The government said there were plots by these unnamed politicians to destabilize the state by funding protests at Aba and Umuahia as way of getting even after sufering electoral defeats in the last election.

It has, however, warned those involved to desist from such evil plots or face the full wrath of the law.

A statement by the State Commissioner for Homeland Security, Prince Dan Okoli, the government stated that it was aware that a certain woman in Aba who has turned herself into a protest merchant and career demonstrator has been engaged and received various sums of money and other logistics support from the some politicians in the state to recruit unsuspecting innocent women to stage protests over a matter that is not even in court.

He disclosed that security agencies in the state have been alerted on these plots and those involved will be held responsible for any breakdown of law and order.

“Parents and guardians are strongly advised to ensure that their children/wards are not used as political pawns by desperate and blood thirsty politicians to foment trouble in the state.”

“All law abiding citizens are advised to go about their lawful duties as adequate measures have already been put in place to protect all citizens and residents, and deal decisively with troublemakers,” the statement concluded.
