Police: AIG zone 6 inaugurates operation Puff Adder in Ebonyi

The Assistant Inspector General of police, AIG Musa Kimo in charge of zone 6 calabar Tuesday,  launch operation PUFF ADDER in Ebonyi state.

He said the operation was to curb inter and intra communal crisis in the state.

Kimo who inaugurated the outfit at the police headquarters Abakaliki called on Ebonyi stakeholders to join hands with the Police to ensure the success of the operation.

He explained that their support was necessary because  the operation was designed in a way that it depends on the people in various communities to achieve its objective as their corporation would include giving police adequate information that would lead to tracking and prosecuting perpetrators of evil acts in the state.

He said the operation was a resonance of intelligence driven policy and community intelligence strategy for the purpose of crime control .

Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, Ebonyi state command, Awoshola Awotunde, has urged the communities to stop pilling arms and learn how to dialogue when issues arise and not to kill each other.

A Stakeholder, Apostle Emma Mbam from Alike-Ikwo, one of the warring communities, said the problem with control of the crisis was the nonchalant attitude of stakeholders from the area.

He said stakeholders should seat up because it is not the miscreants that buy gun rather it is the stakeholders that buy the gun for them to go and kill.

Police public relations officer, DSP Odah Loveth, used the event to parade suspected kidnappers and arms recovered from hoodlums and gun manufacturers in the state.
