The Abia State Government has uncovered plots by some hoodlums hired by desperate political actors to burn down Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) facilities in Obingwa, Ugwunagbo, Isiala Ngwa South, Ukwa East, Ukwa West and Osisioma local government areas of the State.
In a press statement signed by the state commissioner for Information, John Okiyi Kalu, it warned those planning to carry out such acts to desist as they will be surely smoked out by the security agencies in the state.
“We wish to call on all those involved in the dastardly plot to desist from such nefarious activities even as we urge our youths not to allow themselves be used to perpetrate such a heinous crime.
“Security agencies in the state, especially the Nigeria Police Force, are hereby called upon to ensure that the targeted facilities and others in the state are adequately protected before, during and after the remaining elections.
Meanwhile, this is coming barely one week to the governorship and state house of assembly election.
Our peace loving Governor, carry go. U. . Always on point
