The Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has appealed to the Inspector-General of Police and heads of other security agencies to step up security in and around the state.
The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the PDP in the state, Chief Fred Udeogu, said the call became necessary in the light of growing threat to its members by persons suspected of acting at the behest of the state government.
Udeogu said this at a media briefing held at the National Secretariat of the PDP, in Abuja, on Friday.
The party chairman said, “We wish to use this opportunity to call on the Inspector-General of Police, the Director of State Security Services to protect members and legitimate officers of the PDP in Ebonyi State, and hold Governor Dave Umahi accountable for any breakdown of law and order in Ebonyi State.
