From Marcel Duru, Owerri
Governor Hope Uzodimma yesterday told Imolites that every Autonomous community in Imo State must take it’s local security seriously. He made it compulsory that every Autonomous community must set up local vigilante group to secure their autonomous community, just as he made it clear that the President General (PG) of every Autonomous Community is the chief Security Officer of his Community. The governor mandated the PGs to open autonomous Community Security account, separate from the Town Union account and promised to give every Autonomous community two million (#2,000,000) to take off the Vigilante Service.
According to him this money will be paid to the security account, which will be managed by the President General (PG), the Chief Security Officer the Community. He went further by promising to submit a bill to the House of assembly to differentiate the duties of HRH (EZE) and the autonomous community PGs. With this arrangement in place, no PG in Orodo will have excuses why he can not secure our bush. The Governor also made it clear that the PGs must carry their EZE along by briefing their EZE from time to time..
