Abia, like other states in Nigeria’s South-east, has been grappling with security challenges, including kidnapping for ransom.

Northerners doing business in Umuchieze Cattle Market, Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State, have refuted the allegation that they were habouring bandits, kidnappers, and armed robbers.

He said that it was alleged that criminals were “authorised by the group, to plan and attack their victims within and outside the state”. The market, he said, was established more than 16 years ago and had become a unifying factor between the north and south. Mr Kedemure said the group had written to the commissioner of police and the director of State Security Service in Abia State in January to inform them about the security challenges in the market.
