This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Christian Ita, Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser to the governor in Calabar.
According
to the statement, the bill also seeks to empower the government to
seize property belonging to convicted kidnappers and other criminals in
the state.
It stated that the bill offers rewards
to citizens who volunteer information to security agencies on activities
of criminals. This, according to the statement, is to curb incidence of
kidnapping in the state.
The statement also
quoted the governor as saying the state would not condone any act of
lawlessness in view of ongoing effort at re-engineering the state’s
economy.
It, however, stated that the state would
maintain its leading position as the most peaceful state in the country
and the most investor-friendly.
The statement stated that the governor had approved the constitution of a Security Taskforce, named "Operation Skolombo’’.
