Akwa Ibom State Deputy Governor, Moses Ekpo, has called on all border communities to report all security threats to their respective traditional rulers and council chairmen.
Ekpo, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the deputy governor’s office, Nkopuruk Ekaiko, disclosed this during a sensitization campaign for the people of Ikot Ayan Itam in Itu and Ikot Udo Uruan in Uruan Local Government Areas.
He charged communities to exploit the use of dialogue for resolving the crisis in the state rather than resorting to violence.
The Deputy Governor stressed that the destruction of lives and property during a crisis was not the best way to resolve disputes.
