*Says trending news report inacurate
By Ada Okafor
The Enugu State Government has distanced itself from news report trending on the social media regarding one Tochukwu Okeke, purported to be a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Security.
In a statement, the Commissioner for Information, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh, in denying the story said there is none “designated as either Special Adviser, Senior Special Assistant or Special Assistant to the Governor on Security”.
The Commissioner said the state government “is concerned about the rising security challenges faced by the country and appreciates the untiring efforts of the various security agencies in tackling acts of criminality”.
Aroh maintained that “the state government will continue to support the various security agencies in the arduous task of restoring security and protecting the lives and property of the people of Enugu State within the ambit of the extant laws”.
He encouraged the people of Enugu State to continue to support the various security agencies in different ways, “including the provision of useful information on the activities of criminal elements, as the state government will handsomely reward any person who provides useful information on the activities of these criminal elements terrorizing our society and interfering with the much-treasured peace in Enugu State”.
