The council chairman, while addressing  worshippers in the different churches in Opobo Town on the true security situation, explained that people are free to go about their normal businesses at all times but added that those seen late in the night in the streets will be interrogated by the security operatives.

Warisenibo  Uranta warned that in the course of security, check  those found with arms and any incriminating  objects will not only be arrested and prosecuted but  the council will make sure that they are imprisoned so as to rid the community of criminal elements.
