The Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu had ordered all cattle herders and settlers residing within the forests around Umunneochi LGA to vacate such locations with immediate effect.

The order follows the increasing robbery and kindoaiing of citizens around that axis.

Recall that the Prelate of Methodist Church Nigeria, His Eminence Samuel Kanu Uche was kidnapped in that axis and a ransom of one hundred million naira (N100M) was paid by the church before he regained his freedom.

Youths of the area had protested the development, and the Governor had also visited Umunneochi and had a security interaction with leaders of the community from which the resolution was decided upon.

A Government Special Announcement, signed by the Abia State Commissioner for Information, Barr Eze Chikamnayo and made available to Jungle-Journalist.Com is reproduced below:
