The Managing Director of a gas company along the newly constructed 6 lane Aguiyi Ironsi Boulevard in Umuahia has been arrested by the Abia State government for destroying a manhole and pedestrian walkway on the road. This was disclosed by the Commissioner for information, Okey Kanu at the Government House, Umuahia.

He warned that the Abia State government would no longer tolerate the malicious destruction of property put in place for public use. 'The state government is using this opportunity to call on communities, traditional rulers and youths to take ownership of all government properties within their communities.

'Government cannot be spending billions of Naira to ensure that necessary infrastructure is put in place for the comfort and convenience of the citizenry and unscrupulous individuals will be busy destroying these properties', Kanu said. He regretted that such acts negated the government's efforts to turn Umuahia and Aba into smart cities.
