We also commend the Aba residents for being peaceful.” On the reported activities of herdsmen in some Abia communities, Governor Otti said his administration would never tolerate the destruction of people’s farms. He however urged Abia residents not to take the laws into their hands but to report to relevant authorities for necessary action. “We are very intolerant to any herdsman destroying people’s farms. We also encourage the people not to take the laws into their own hands,” he said. On the rising cost of house rents in Umuahia and Aba, Otti said he would not force landlords to charge low fees, as according to him, the influx of residents from other towns and the high demands for accomodations are major factors driving the high cost. He however said that the ongoing housing estates his administration is building across the state would help in tackling the house rent challenges.
