“Now, surveillance eyes are everywhere watching, joint security squads are patrolling the streets, and criminal shadows are fading”, pointing out that “places like Upper Iweka, Onitsha now beats with newfound rhythm, free from the grip of fear.
“As security forces are standing ever vigilant and our roads are gleaming free of potholes, festive cheer will flow unfettered.
