Obiano made the pledge at Nkpor town hall when he came to sym­pathise with the people of Nkpor on the bloody clash between security operatives and Biafra agi­tators in which about 50 members were reportedly massacred and scores in­jured.

“We have compiled the list of the injured in different hospitals where they are hospitalised.”
The governor urged Nkpor people to always ward off undesirable el­ements who come into the community to tarnish their image.

“I came to sympathise with you for what hap­pened. Before I came in as the governor, people were not sleeping, but now we sleep. Don’t al­low strangers to disturb Nkpor.”
Obiano recalled how he deployed diplomacy to evacuate Boko Haram suspects brought into Ekwulobia Prisons and also gave befitting burial to Biafra war heroes.
