Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu, has expressed concern over the continuous importation of assorted weapons into the state by expatriate workers.
The governor disclosed this at the 6th meeting of the state Executive Council where he charged cabinet members to sit up and become proactive, lamenting that it has become a huge security risk to the people of the state.
Consequently, Governor Otu has called for the documentation of the profiles of all expatriates working with indigenous and foreign companies in the state, while threatening to revoke operational licences and closure of companies whose expatriates are identified to be involved in arms smuggling.
He also ordered the enforcement of Corporate Social Responsibility by all companies in the state.
