Akwa Ibom State government has promised to beef up security at the waterways of Issiet Ekim and Adadia communities of the Uruan local council area of the state.
This was disclosed by the Deputy Governor, Moses Ekpo, during an on-the-spot assessment of the lingering crises between sea pirates and the communities.
He announced that a full-force team would be deployed to patrol the communities, which would further curtail the security threat.
He urged the people to avail security operatives of information.
