The governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has said Enugu remains among the safest states in the country, irrespective of propaganda by falsehood peddlers.

Mbah said the state had taken proactive measures and invested in capacity to solve every crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.

This was even as the Police in Isi-Uzo made arrests over the recent attack on Eha-Amufu farm settlements that left some persons dead.

Mbah spoke on Wednesday when he received the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 13, AIG Abayomi Oladipo, in an audience at the Lion Building, Enugu.

Mbah said he was aware that his administration could not achieve the ambition to grow the state’s economy from $4.4bn to $30bn and position it as the premier destination for investment, business, tourism, and living without security. Hence, his decision to invest enormous resources and political will in fighting the scourge of insecurity from the outset.

He maintained that with the enormity of security infrastructure such as the Command and Control Centre, establishment of the Distress Response Squad special police unit with over 150 security vehicles, installation of AI-enabled cameras across the state for surveillance, and other resources put in place, Enugu had acquired the capacity to not only prevent crimes but also solve them when they occur.

“Enugu is the most secure city in the country, unarguably, save for people who like to magnify things and believe that the security we enjoy in Enugu is disturbing them.

“So, they sometimes conjecture things to entertain their views or opinions. They post or peddle falsehoods on social media by returning to things that happened years ago to make them appear as if they are happening. Also, things that happened elsewhere make it seem like they are happening in Enugu.

“I have seen some images and videos recently of things that never happened here but were made to look like they did here in Enugu State.

“Therefore, if we discount those false narratives, those fake narratives that we hear from social media, Enugu, as I mentioned, unarguably is the safest city in this country.

“But we are not going to rest on our oars. We must see that our security agents are alive to their responsibilities and duties.

“We do not have any tolerance for insecurity, for crime in Enugu State. We will continue to work with the security agencies to ensure we sustain the security we enjoy in the state today.

Speaking earlier, AIG Oladipo, who said he had received a security briefing from the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Police Command, CP Mamman Giwa, and his Anambra State counterpart, CP Ikioye Orutugu, and rolled out modalities for synergy in fighting crime, commended Governor Mbah for the notable improvement in the security of lives and property in the state.

“I can tell you that what we have put in place is working for us. I want to thank you for your support and your cooperation with the police and other security agencies of the state,” he stated.

It is recalled that while the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, FCDO, issued various levels of warning against trips to 27 states in its 13th June 2025 travel advisory, which was still valid as of 18th June, Enugu State was among the few states without any travel warnings whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the Police in Isi-Uzo have arrested two alleged collaborators and informants, Matthew Ebeh, and a woman, who allegedly provided a guide for the attack and also sold information on security movements to the militant herders.

It was gathered that Ebeh, 26, allegedly led the suspected herders into the community. However, he ran out of luck when one of the locals escaped, leading to his arrest.
