The Speaker, Akwa Ibom House of Assembly, Mr Aniekan Uko, on Thursday urged the State Police Command to ensure total elimination of kidnappers and all forms of criminals in the state.

He said that the sixth assembly would cooperate with the police commissioner to ensure effective policing of the state.

Uko said there must be peace and stability for socio-economic development and for the industrial policy of the present administration to thrive.

He promised to support the command with N400, 000 toward the completion of work on the car park at the State Police headquarters.

He said the command would not relent in its effort to rid the state of criminals.
