LOC Chairman assures on security

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) Chairman of the 14th National Sports festival, Mr. O.A Omotade has dislodged fears stemming from reported presence of arms at the games village.

According to him, contrary to the rumour going round, the reported arms belong to the security personnel that came with the Ebonyi contingents.

“I must be honest with you there is nothing like that. What happened is just misinformation. The alleged armed ganged were just an escort troop that came all the way from Ebonyi state with there contingents and because of the time factor they decided to sleep with the team and that is all” he told Nigeriasports.com

“People did not have time to investigate the matter before making unnecessary speculations. We have our security men all over the village and there is no way they would be there without seeing those alleged armed athletes moving into the village”.

He said that the LOC has provided enough security to protect the life and properties through out the competition.
