My suggestions: 1. Building military barracks all around the outskirts of aba. 2. Aerial policing at nights on outskirts of aba(especially the Aba-PH Expressway) which are usually the base of these robbers. 3. Call for surrender of arms

Ayowumie:

Lastly, i dont think T.Orji deserves a second term.

Spyker:

While I support the posting of military personnel into Aba, I should also inform this forum that "in a democratic setting, a State of Emergency" is never declared on a State. You need the Legislature to pass that in to law before it can be enforced. Only a presidential fiat can be used to fight this problem.
I still remember the "hands up" days in Port Harcourt when cult groups besieged the city shooting sporadically, the then Governor Omehia brought in the military and imposed a curfew in the State (which Peter Odili could not do with all his influence) who fought and chased the criminals who call themselves militants into the creeks. I think Orji should start by imposing a curfew in the State and tend invite the military since we have a failed Police force whose main aimed of carrying weapons is to extort money from Commercial drivers and protect themselves alone.
Governor Amaechi should also increase the security around the Oyigbo axis of Rivers State before these hoodlums return to Port Harcourt.

snowdrops:

A bus load of 15 children aged 3 to 10 years have just been kidnapped.

[b]The bastards [/b]are demanding 20 million naira from the proprietress of the school.

Outrageous, abomination, sad very sad.

Youngichou:

 they are not  bastards but  IGBO GUYS desperately looking for Money.

eleven:

supported!

Beaf:

What can be expected from a man like this?


@topic
It is not an easy process to declare a state of emergency and its a process strewn with traps and potholes. I election season, it might be really delicate to declare a state of emergency, especially with the current set of desperate candidates that have threatened to throw the country into turmoil.

~Bluetooth:

your contribution shows that you know little of nigeria constitution.Section 305 of the 1999 constitution [b]empowers the president of Nigeria to declare a state of Emergency in Nigeria or in any part of nigeria provided 2/3 of the state house of assembly sanctioned the declaration.It's a matter of constitutionality.[/b]
