…..SAYS TEMPORARY ACTION COMMITTEE IS MAKING PROGRESS

Meanwhile, The Caretaker Committee (CTC) Chairman of Brass LGA, Hon. Victor Isaiah, has described as frivolous a story published on social media alleging that one of his aides was involved in sea-piracy and kidnapping in the area.

Hon. Victor Isaiah who was reacting to the online news story published Social Media said the publication was riddled with lies aimed discrediting him for taking the bull by the horns to make the LGA area safe.

Describing the report as the handiwork of some disgruntled elements who had links to the Action Committee which he dissolved earlier this month, the Chairman noted that the modest achievements his efforts had yielded in the area of peace after he set up the Temporary Action Committee was what had resulted in attempt to blackmail him.

“The Action Committee set up by the Youth President of Twon-Brass was dissolved when it was discovered that most of the members are cultists and security reports that some members were involved in an evil plot to embarrass the Governor of the state on his visit.

“The general public should do well to ask the dissolved Action Committee how many criminals they caught or arrested. But this Temporary Action Committee I inaugurated has successfully arrested no fewer than four notorious kidnappers in less than two weeks after its inauguration”

Hon. Victor Isaiah who made it clear that none of the persons working directly with him as aide was involved in criminality as being alleged, called on the public to discountenance the distorted and misleading Social Media report, and equally advised the security agencies to carry out a thorough investigation into the matter with a view to anyone found culpable so as to rid Brass LGA of all forms of criminality.
