Traditional rulers in Enugu state have described the incessant kidnapping in Southeast region and the illegal Monday sit-at-home as alien to the Igbo people, and must therefore be resisted.
The monarchs who converged on the House of Assembly Complex for an interactive session with the governor on Wednesday urged Governor Peter Mbah to be more ruthless in flushing out kidnappers and enforcers of the sit-at-home order.
They also admonished Mbah to deploy joint security operatives across different communities to reinforce the people’s confidence in going about their legitimate businesses.

Some of the monarchs who spoke on behalf of their senatorial districts were Igwe Simon Osisi Itodo, Igwe RSN Eze, Igwe Lawrence Agubuzu, Igwe Godwin Madu, Igwe Julius Nnaji, Igwe Greg Ugwu, among others.
Mbah told the royal fathers that the meeting was convened to appreciate their support during the election, and to brief them on the security measures taken so far to rid the state of criminal elements, and attract the promised investments.
The governor also stressed that the only way to make the state the premier destination for investment, eradicate poverty, build theme parks, attract over three million tourists yearly, provide employment for the youths, and move the state’s gross domestic product from its current $4.4 to $30 billion, was by ending insecurity posed by hoodlums hiding under the guise of sit-at-home to hurt the economy and inflict pain on the citizens.
