He said those who are yet to voluntarily surrender all illegally acquired firearms (Locally and manufactured or foreign) to the committee must do that within one week or face the full wrath of the law.
“Failure to surrender, whistle blowers are enjoined to expose anyone known to be unlawfully in possession of such firearms to this committee whose secretariat is at the state CIID headquarters or through mobile phone No 080283111953”

“The Command is not unmindful of the recent cult/Communal clashes in the state, especially in Calabar South, eight miles in Calabar Municipality, some communities in Boki, Obubra and Obudu local government areas respectively”.
The Commissioner said that the command has assiduously strategized an onslaught on these cultists/criminals across the state and will never renege on this no matter whose ox is goared.
In furtherance to this, the command he explained will not stop soliciting the support of traditional institutions, religious leaders, youths, community leaders, judiciary and the political class to join hands with the Police to fight these upsurges that tend to shatter the peace of the state.
