PORTHARCOURT — TO stem the wave of kidnapping and other related crime in Omuma Local Government Area, a border council  between Rivers and Abia States, Governor Chibuike Amaechi has called on people of the council to arrest 50 kidnappers in their midst and get N10 million reward. He said if they are able to apprehend 30 kidnappers, they will get N2 million.
The Governor said they should collaborate with security operatives in this task. The area is notorious for kidnapping and other related crime. Governor Amaechi assured that more security operatives would be deployed to the area to assist in smoking out the hoodlums from their hideouts.

He advised the people to move from house to house in the area to identify the criminals in their midst and hand them over to law enforcement agents.

The Governor, who lamented that the wave of crime in the area had stalled government projects, also advised the people to come up with a name to fill the vacant traditional stool of Onye Isi Agwuru.

He said the state government will not interfere with the process.
