INSECURITY: Delta Kingdom holds Security Summit, Urges Security Personnel to flush out criminals
From Our Correspondent
Worried by incessant kidnapping, killing, raping, stealing, and other social vices in Ughelli kingdom, the newly elected President General of Ughelli Descendant Union (UDU), Chief Samuel Akpimegi Jp, today organize a one-day security summit.
The summit with the theme, “State of Security in Ughelli Kingdom: A Call to Duty”, is aimed at making the kingdom and Delta State as a whole a crime-free state.
The summit charged the local vigilante group of the kingdom with incessant killing, kidnapping, and other social vices in the kingdom.
While constituting an eight-man coordinating committee of members of the local vigilante of the kingdom headed by the commandant of Vigilante Group of Nigeria Delta State chapter, Comrade Monday Ohwesiri, Akpimegi charged the vigilante members to flush out all criminals from the kingdom.
“You must make Ughelli kingdom an unsafe place for criminals to dwell.
“If you caught any criminal with evidence and any person no matter how highly placed in the kingdom call you to release the criminal(s) go after the person”.
Earlier in his speech, he emphasized the importance of security to lives and properties.
His words, “My dear people, nobody here needs to be reminded of the far-reaching strategic importance of security.
“Let me preface this by saying that every citizenry of Ughelli kingdom is entitled to adequate security from the leadership of UDU and government for their lives and livelihoods, UDU and government may slip into that responsibility often in the past but I must say never deliberately.
“But to successfully fight insecurity in our kingdom, local government area, and the state as a whole we need all hands to be desk to match our ambition.
“This very important security summit is an important part of the ongoing engagements with stakeholders on the security concerns of our kingdom.
The Summit is important because it will take into account the several security challenges our communities have faced over the years and currently still facing.
“I think the most important commitment that we here can all make at the end of this summit is to know that the security of lives and properties is paramount and is every man’s business”.
Let me close by summarizing some policy objectives that we need further work on, some of which will benefit from both the UDU Executive member’s and community leaders’ cooperation.
While stressing on the news to partner with other neighboring communities to fight crime he said, “Securing the Ughelli kingdom and its immediate neighboring communities and its dense populations requires far more men and materials than we have at the moment. It also requires a continual re-engineering of our security architecture and strategies. This has to be a dynamic process.
” We must intensify existing collaboration with our neighbors in the neighboring communities/kingdoms, especially border communities to prevent the movement of small arms and disarm armed pastoralists and bandits who go through our borders day after day”.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
