This followed the attempted bomb incident that took place on Sunday at the Winners Chapel Church off Port Harcourt Road, Owerri, in which three bombs were discovered and later detonated by the Police.
The state government launched the ‘Operation Know Your Neighbour’ in collaboration with the security agencies in the state as part of the security measures to ensure adequate security of lives and property in the state.
Launching the programme on Monday at a special security meeting in Owerri, with the service chiefs in the state in attendance , the State governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha contended that nobody comes into a state to commit crime of any kind without an internal collaborator, adding that since those who commit these crimes were human beings they must also be residents somewhere, and their neighbours should equally be able to know them and what they do.
The governor announced other security measures, which stipulate that hotels in the state should install security cameras and should forward on daily basis the list of their guests to the Director of State Security Services; and trailers bringing food items from the Northern part of the country would no longer be allowed to come into the state at night but only in the day.
