 ‘Empty barrels’ – Otti dismisses Uzor Kalu, Orji, Ikpeazu opposition gang-up Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state. Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past. Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu. The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse. He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. “I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes...

SASA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FATAL MOB ACTION IN ONITSHA



Government has noticed that some ill-informed social media commentators  have been maliciously trying to ascribe the Wednesday, 1st of November mob action at Bida Road, Onitsha which claimed the lives of two young men, to the newly inaugurated Special Anti-Touting Squad Anambra (SASA). 

These accusations can best be described as calumnious, baseless and diametrically in contrast with the modus operandi of SASA.

On the fateful day in question, at about 1:20 pm, two persons were mobbed at Bida Road in Onitsha. The victims were identified as  Monday alias Aka Odo and Ikechukwu.

These two well-known criminals had escaped from a shanty behind Menax Hospital, Onitsha, that served as their hideout after it was earlier raided by SASA. The criminals used the hideout as a place of convergence from where they dispersed each day to commit diverse crimes and engage in violent extortion.

While they fled, the two victims were apprehended by traders who recognized them because they had been victims of these criminals' activities on many  occasions in the past.

Realizing that these identifiable criminals were on the run and vulnerable, the traders attacked them and subsequently meted out jungle justice on them before SASA personnel were alerted. 

It was an unfortunate situation which the SASA Unit had no hand in.

However, information available reveals that the gang has links to a notorious criminal known as Ikanda, who is currently serving a prison term.

Anambra State Special Anti-Touting Unit shall continue to abide by its laid down code of conduct and standard operation procedures as it remains committed to actualizing its mandate as directed by the Governor of Anambra State.

The public is encouraged to alert SASA of touting related activities once observed. Numbers to call are: 08156352767 and 09017280990.

If you see something, please say something.

Signed
