He spoke during a visit to the reconstruction site of the collapsed flyover bridge at Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state for on-the-spot assessment of the work being done by the contractors, Consolidated Construction Company (CCC).

Obiano disclosed that American-style patrol vans with all manner of gadgets would soon be donated to the police in the state to help them in providing security for the people.

In his words, “The police in the state will soon be equipped with American-style patrol vehicles with every type of gadget in it. Police has been trained to manage that.

“I believe that will help boost security in the state. Criminals have been warned. It is better you

let go of crime or report yourself to the police station or be ready to die on the spot. Anybody that defies the security will be killed. We want total sanity in the state and we are not ready to run after anybody. If you are caught, then be ready to die.”
