Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has cautioned neighbouring states not to mistake the kindness of the people of the state for weakness.
The statement followed boundary disputes in recent times between communities in the state and some neighbouring states, resulting in deaths and destruction of properties and farmlands.
Otu spoke when he welcomed members of the Cross River Elders’ Forum and other stakeholders who paid him a courtesy visit.
He disclosed the deployment of drones for effective boundary monitoring, aimed at safeguarding the state’s territorial integrity.
Otu highlighted his administration’s strides in enhancing state security, particularly along the borders, stressing that no inch of the state will be surrendered to neighbours.
