Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has said his administration will do everything to ensure that some natives of Ihie Osu community in Arochukwu LGA who fled their homes because of land disputes are returned safely.
Otti gave the assurance on Thursday while responding to a passionate appeal by a concerned journalist, Peter Okore, about the terrible conditions of the displaced villagers.

On the reported vandalisation of some public schools in Abia, Governor Otti expressed surprise that individuals would be destroying facilities built with public funds, but disclosed that plans are underway to recruit security operatives to protect schools in the state.
