The Enugu State Government on Monday issued a warning to those planning to enforce any form of sit-at-home in the state to desist or have themselves to blame.
This followed a meeting of the Enugu State Security Council, comprising the heads of security agencies in the state held at the Government House,
During the Security Council meeting presided over by the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, he said sit-at-home remained an aberration in all the nooks and crannies of Enugu State, stressing that no one had the right to stop anyone else from going about his or her lawful business.
Recall that Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Autopilot militia group had issued a one week sit-at-home order.
But briefing journalists after the meeting, the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, Kanayo Uzuegbu, stated that the Security Council meeting with the Governor and all the security chiefs in attendance was fruitful.
He said, “We took some strategic and critical decisions to ensure that security architecture in the state is further strengthened. We have to give the good people of Enugu State security guarantee.
“We also resolved that sit-at-home remains an aberration in Enugu State. People should go about their lawful businesses. Any activities or actions by any person or persons that are inimical to the peace of the state, we assure you, they will be ruthlessly dealt with. Any person that disturbs their peace and business, oh my God, sorry is his name.
Mbah, described the leader of the Autopilot militia group as a businessman, scammer, and common criminal, who had no interest of Ndigbo at heart, but rather fed on their emotions and sufferings by creating a siege atmosphere just as he charged the security forces to deal with any criminal that tests his administration’s resolve to ensure security and order in the state.
