A statement by his media aide, Comrade Cassius Nwikoro, said the monarch has pledged his total support and commitment and that of the well meaning people of Igbu Akoh Kingdom to the Governor Siminalaye Fubara’s led administration in promoting peace and development in the land.
The monarch also in the statement commended the Nigeria Police Force for the proactiveness deployed in addressing the insecurity situation in the state, especially Igbu Akoh kingdom of Ekpeye Ethnic Nationality.
He acknowledged the professional acumen deployed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and the State commissioner of police, Disu Olatunji in their relentless efforts in ensuring that justice was eventually served on the culprits.
The Natural Ruler urged the Nigerian Police to remain relentless in strengthening its security apparatus to bring lasting peace in Ekpeye land, particularly in Igbu-Akoh Kingdom.
He warned the youths to desist from evil tendencies as no individual or community can thrive in an atmosphere of evil but should engage themselves in meaningful ventures.
