Okon Bassey in Uyo

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has accused some communities in the state of conniving with criminals to carry out series of kidnapping in the state.

At a media chat with journalists in Uyo, Tuesday evening, to mark his one year in office, the governor disclosed  that security agencies had uncovered some of the hideouts of criminals, stressing that soon, shocking arrests would be made.

Regretting that those in the criminal act saw kidnapping as a lucrative  business, he said his government was prepared to take the  fight against insecurity to the creeks of the state.

Eno, therefore, tasked parents to caution and monitor the movement of their wards and the company they keep as they might be casualties in the fight against kidnapping in the state.

He boasted that in every kidnapping made in his administration, government had arrested all the suspects, and vowed that he would not worry investing any resources in clamping down on kidnapping and all forms of insecurity in the state.
