The statement partly read,” There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel as the CP has ordered the arrest of all criminal elements fermenting trouble in the community. The CP has ordered the arrest of any person carrying illicit arms in the community after an interaction with the executives of the Illushi Progressive Association of Nigeria, the apex association of the community.

The executive of the Association informed him of the many crises in the community, which included kidnapping, killings and intimidation by some group of criminal gangs operating in the community, and pleaded to the CP to come to the aid of the community.
