OSPAC Re-branding: Obalga Boss Promises Crime Free LGA
The Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area, Amb. Chijioke Ihunwo, has said he would stop at nothing until the entire Local Government was free of crime.
Ihunwo made this known at a meeting with the state leadership of the Onelga Security Peace And Advisory Council ( OSPAC) at the Council’s Secretariat on Friday.
At the meeting, he named a Three- Member Committee made up of his Special Adviser on Security, Obi Iwara, Chief Obidike Nwokoho, and the leader of OSPAC in Rivers State, Comrade Emeka Onyeocha.
According to him, one of the first steps of the committee was to advertise for placement in the security outfit, profiling of members and training before the relaunch of same in the LGA.
He faulted those who doubted his powers to dive into security issues in the local government and added that he is the Chief Security Officer of the place.
“We have agreed that whosoever is interested in joining OSPAC should apply through my SA on security, because we are starting the recruitment, profiling and training of members from next week (this week)”, he said.
The Chairman stressed that no one can blackmail him into hurriedly restoring OSPAC in the LGA without him following due process.
He stated that he possessed the constitutional powers to handle security and related matters as the number one citizen of the Local Government.
The Obalga Boss, who announced the rejection of one Azubuike Amadi, alias Ocean, as an OSPAC member, cleared that such was not tied to any form of malice as perceived at some quarters, but a mere step to have a better security architecture in place.
The Tide gathered that upon the rebirth of the Vigilante group, an office space will be provided for them in the Council Secretariat.
It was further learnt that profiling of the local Security outfit would be greeted with a high professional approach to provide the best of security services for all in the area.
It will be recalled that the Obalga Council Boss disbanded OSPAC operations in the LGA few days in office, citing lapses in the system as part of the reasons for his action.
