The Imo State Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, has vowed that no criminal would go scot-free, stressing that the state government is intolerant of crime in the state.
Emelumba made the vow on Thursday when he featured on Channels Television’s Lunchtime Politics.
According to him, the level of security in the state had improved as there is no hiding place for criminals.
He also addressed concerns over the killing of seven people in the Ideato North Local Government Area of the state.
“Yes, it took some time, but the most important thing is that he [the suspect] was arrested and I think the government should be commended for going all out to ensure he was arrested,” he said.
Weighing in on the current state of security, the commissioner said, he said there had been an improvement compared to previous years.
“That does not mean we have a completely safe Imo State. Like every other society, we still have security breaches here and there.
“That does not in any way suggest that the situation is getting worse. As far as I am concerned, these cases are not as frequent as they used to be in the past,” he added.
