Public Notice read:
The general public, especially motorists and commuters who may wish to make a trip through OPI-Nsukka-Ugwuogo Road are hereby advised to disregard video clips being circulated on social media, claiming kidnapping was ongoing on the road.
The true position was that commercial Siena drivers converged at Opi- Nsukka with placards, protesting the cases of kidnapping that took place on the road last week. They were addressed by the DPO of Umabo Police Station, Eha-Alimona Nsukka this morning, explaining to them the security measures that had been put in place and which had successfully cleared the road of kidnappers. Thereafter, they dispersed and went about their businesses.
The general public is, therefore, advised to disregard the claims by mischief makers on assignment to scare commuters that kidnappers were on the road. The road is safe as a joint team of the military, police and forest guards patrol the road and the bushes. Let no one be scared. OPI-Ugwuogo Road is safe as Enugu State Government has adequately contained any form of insecurity on that road.
Thank you.

Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Enugu State on New Media
