He commended the people of Abonnema for their cooperation with the security agencies and called for more synergy, stressing that security left solely in the hands of the security personnel would fail without the sustained cooperation of the people.
Meanwhile, King Bob-Manuel, in exercise of his traditional functions also installed two chiefs, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba and Chief Anthony Monday Alabraba respectively.
Performing the installation at the Chief Anabraba Briggs Memorial Hall, the Amanyanabo enjoined them to cooperatively work with other chiefs and well meaning sons and daughters of the community to achieve a more united and prosperous Abonnema.
