Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, yesterday, warned against eviction of people from government quarters. It was gathered that some persons in the state, who described themselves as owners of government, have been going around evicting occupants.

Nwifuru, who is angry over the development, ordered security agents to arrest and prosecute such persons.

The governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr. Monday Uzor, said: “It has come to the notice of the governor that some group of persons are going about evicting occupants of government quarters across the State.

“The general public is, therefore, informed that the governor did not give such directive. Those involved in this act of intimidation are, hereby, warned to desist or face the law.

“The governor has also directed security agents to arrest and prosecute any person or group of persons attempting to eject any occupant of government quarters.

“The general public and occupants of government quarters will be duly informed when such directive becomes necessary.”
