According to the retired General, the perilous times in our country now entails that proactive steps should be taken by every Obollo person to avert any embarrassing security breach in our town.
He said that Obollo being a gate way to the North puts her in a precarious position that requires absolute vigilance and proper sensitization of our people on how to cope in a time like this.
The OGA leader announced that a standing security Committee will be set up urgently by the community to help monitor developments in conjunction with relevant security bodies like the Police, Civil Defence, the DSS and the Vigilant groups as well as the Forest Guards.
In inaugurating the Committees, General Ugwuoke charged them to put all their intellects on the job as the proposed new Obollo will be anchored on the outcome of their reports.
He gave the Committees 90 days timeline and promised to set up a Secretariat in Obollo Afor for effective monitoring and coordination of the activities of the Committees.
The inauguration of the committee preceded general meeting of Obollo leaders were a number of far reaching decisions were agreed on like the rejection of the proposed Obollo Afor Trail Park as against the Dry- Seaport which informed the community donating the land.
