Barely three months into his administration as the executive governor of Abia State, Alex Otti has launched a security outfit codenamed ‘Operation Crush’.
Operation Crush is a joint security team tasked with the responsibility of swift response to distress calls and to rid the State of criminals.
While commissioning the fleet of vehicles which he purchased for the outfit, the governor explained that the development was in fulfilment of his campaign promises.
In a post on his X handle (formerly Twitter), Otti asserted that his administration has zero tolerance for Crimes, hence, unknown gunmen and criminals should excuse Abia State.
His post read: “Today, we formally launched a special security operation codenamed “Operation Crush” in response to our state’s security challenges.
“I had promised zero tolerance for criminality in Abia, and today marks the realization of that commitment.
“Operation Crush” is a joint task force.”
Otti is the governor of Abia State on the platform of Labour Congress, a political party which Peter Obi contested as the 2023 presidential candidate.
