Speaking to the Security Men before everybody present, after telling them why he came, Mr. Speaker said, “In the past two weeks, calls have continued to come of panic, suspicion, and phantom claims that Obowo has been invaded by Soldiers. I asked, are they real soldiers or Law breakers in military uniforms? They said, real soldiers. I then wondered why the alarms. There is a common task on us, Obowians, to secure Obowo and her environs, this is a task meant for all of us to carry out. Security is the responsibility of everybody. Only a Criminal gets jittery and apprehensive at the sight of Security Agents. In the course of this interaction with you, you have continued to emphasize that your mission to Obowo is to maintain Law and Order, the people of Obowo, therefore, welcome you. As long as you remain within the core of your deployment here, we are with you, we are a homogeneous people, very peaceful and hospitable, we are a Law-abiding people though not ruling out a Judas “ – Rt. Hon. Kennedy Ibeh, said.
