Senator Tasks Security Agencies On Yuletide

He said the Igbo are deprived of the unique joy that homecoming during Christmass and New Year offer because of multiple threats to life experienced on the road, adding that the bonding which these festivities offer his people often translate to developmental initiatives in the region.

He reasoned that if nothing is done urgently to re-assure them of their security, a severe setback would have been afflicted on them without intent.

He therefore called on the Inspector General of Police, the State Security Service, the governors of the states within the zone as the chief security officers in their states and others to rise to the challenge.
