In the posted by the Local Government authority, a bulldozer was seen clearing an expanse of land along the Uvwiamuge-Agbarho Road which was described as “a hub for kidnapping.”

The local government wrote: “Ughelli North Council Chairman, Olorogun Jaro Egbo, takes bold action against crime. Massive clearing operation underway along Uvwiamuge-Agbarho Road that has been a hub for kidnapping.”
Responding, Edafe commended the initiative and wrote: “A very good proactive policing strategy. Thanks, chairman of the Ughelli North Local Government Area.”
