The Executive Chairman of Ika South Local Government, Delta State, Hon. Sunny Tatabuzogwu has said that the Council under his leadership has achieved enormous success towards curbing some security challenges bedeviling the local government area in recent times.
He made this statement while giving the scorecard of his administration during press briefing at the Council’s Administrative complex in Agbor.
Tatabuzogwu revealed that the kingpin coordinating the syndicate gang terrorising the area through trailing of unsuspecting citizens from banks and robbing them of their money, had been caught last week.
The Chairman confirmed that the Council had even received its own fair share of the robbery incidents when the Accounts Clerk was robbed of over #3 million withdrawn to take care of some payments, adding that his car which he parked within the Council premises to pick some documents from office, was opened and the money carted away in splits of seconds.
The Council boss also gave an instance with the kidnappings in Abavo area of the Council and how the government was able to tackle the menace to get reprieve for its people.
He said concerted effort was made through the engagement of hunters and other security arrangements to checkmate the activities of those kidnappers, leading to the destruction of their camps. He further maintained that such security initiative had brought succour to Abavo and other flashpoints within the local government area.
