GOVERNMENT OF AKWA IBOM STATE

BAN ON SCRAP SCAVENGERS IN AKWA IBOM STATE AND ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING BAN ON THE USE OF MOTOR CYCLES WITHIN UYO METROPOLIS:

1. BAN ON SCRAP SCAVENGERS

The Government of Akwa Ibom State has, with immediate effect, banned the activities of scrap scavengers in the State. This follows several incidents of grave infractions including acts of criminality and threat to peaceful inter-ethnic relationship in the state by operators of this enterprise. The action of Government is also in consonance with public sentiments amidst popular complaints against the activities of these scavengers who wantonly violate peoples properties, stealing and assaulting law abiding citizens in the process.

Recall that sometime in 2021, multiple explosions, causing fatalities, were recorded in Oruk Anam Local Government Area in the course of scavengers sorting out what turned out to be military brand explosives. About four lives were lost in this incident. Similarly, on 2nd Jan, 2022 scavengers violated the premises of a citizen in Afaha Oku, Uyo Local Government Area in an attempt to cart away properties. While attempting to prevent the scavengers, the citizen was callously murdered in cold blood while mob action was visited on the scavenger assailants causing the death of the two scavengers. Sundays appear to be the busiest day for these scavengers who take advantage of mass Church attendance to invade homes and cart away valuables leaving hapless citizens with tales of woe upon their return from Church.

As a responsible Government, we can no longer tolerate the activities of this industry which evidently is in no way adding value to the socio economic well being of the state but rather escalating tensions and threatening the overall peace and security of the State. Accordingly, the operations of scrap scavengers in the State is banned forthwith. Violators of this ban will be apprehended and dealt with according to the law.

2. BAN ON MOTOR CYCLE OPERATION WITHIN UYO METROPOLIS AND ENVIRONS.

Government has observed with dismay and serious concern the flagrant defiance of the ban on Motor Cycle operations within Uyo metropolis and environs. This ban order is hereby reiterated with a warning that defaulters stand to lose not only their Motor Cycles, if apprehended, but also risk being prosecuted and possibly sentenced.

Security Agencies and the general public are therefore put on notice. An enforcement structure has been put in place to effect these directives to the letter.

The General public should be rest-assured that the Government of Akwa Ibom State will leave no stones unturned in ensuring the safety of lives and properties as well as the peace and security of the state

Signed

Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem
Secretary to State Government
Akwa Ibom State

yes o! my village is d least place I expected dem but I was surprised to see dem all over the place

Tellwhat:

They're very mean

People wey dey chain children all in the name of accusations say the pikin na witch

In fact I think the killing of twins happened mostly in akwa ibom / cross River before it was abolished

And I have had a rumor that such practice still happens there today

Those people no dey play with jungle justice
To kill no dey hard them

Icandream:



You're an idiot! No de travel, de stay in ur dirty village and be listening to rumours about other people. U just showed ur bias tendencies by trying to defend the Hausa pple that killed while condemning the pple who tried to defend their son. If you're a thief come to Akwa Ibom and steal but while doing that know that the day you're caught you'll see urself in hell

Tellwhat:

You're a bastard. Thunder fire your furry mouth there idiot.
Obviously the Hausa people mess up and I'm not defending them either.

I'm just replying someone who said something about akwa ibom

Besides last year how many people were caught in akwa ibom for committing murder

Thunder will fire you and you're bound for hell fire

Icandream:



Bush man. If you're really proud of ur state mention the name here let's see how good and peaceful ur pple are.

od501:


I pity those who still condemn ipob activities till now. I always tell people, anybody that you see fighting a just course, support the person, whether he is Igbo, or Yoruba, whether Christian or pegan.

Me I'm supposing ipob all the way oo...Cos I have seen what this people are up to.

Tellwhat:

Thunder go fire you. Bush pig

Icandream:


Mention ur state lemme check somfin mumu man

emae009:

Tellwhat:

You're a very stupid boy. Did I ask you for your state
Obviously no state in Nigeria is perfect. The fact akwa ibom is known to engage in such doesn't mean that there are the only ones with bad stereotypes attached to them

If you quote me again thunder go fire u. Try respect your elders boy

Offpoint1:
In all my journey in Nigeria, the people I fear most are the Akwa-Ibom youths... I laugh when I hear "Warri no dey carry last"...
Don't misbehave in Akwa-Ibom as an indigene or non-indigene...
Perish any idea of stealing or violence in that state.

Ilaumoh:

Tellwhat:

Thunder go fire you. Bush pig
