Security expert and businessman, Chief Chikwe Udensi, has donated some pieces of crime-detecting software and hardware equipment to Peace in the Southeast Project (PISE-P), with the aim of addressing insecurity in the South-East region.

This was made known in a press release as Udensi was committed to fulfil the promise he made in committing to PISE-P, a security consultant with the Inter-Pol systems, created by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu.

Udensi made the donation in Abuja, adding that PISE-P is the only mechanism to restore peace in the Southeast region, the reason for his involvement in th project.

“I do agree that Peace in South East is the ultimate ‘Udo kanma’ and just like I promised you last year I will provide two contributions for this project to succeed because my area of specialty is security,” Udensi said.

“I said I will provide advice and the tools that are very important for this task. The tools will enhance the project both the hardware and the software that will give you access to the necessary data that you require to make this project worth the while.

“I will also provide some funding because this project will be capital intensive as it involves moving around. You’re not the one going to fund it. My prayers are that God will empower you people spiritually and physically for this venture to be successful.

The Abia-born security expert also commended Kalu and his fellow lawmakers for envisioning the project advocating that peace in the Southeast is good for all and sundry.

Udensi had in December 2023 thrown his weight behind the project when the Chairman, Media and Publicity PISE – P, Mary Ikoku, paid him a courtesy visit in his Arochukwu County in December last year.

He lauded Ikoku for associating with the PISE – P project, pointing out that the task would be quite beneficial to society.

PISE-P is a strategic platform for the restoration of peace in the Southeast region, which was unveiled by President Bola Amend Tinubu in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, on December 29, 2023.

The Deputy Speaker had stressed that PISE-P was floated to combat insecurity and restore peace in the five states belonging to the Southeast.

The region has been grappling with insecurity as unknown gunmen are on a rampage to not only kill and destroy residents and government facilities but also attack security operatives.

In September 2021, Chike Akunyili, the husband of the late boss of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dora Akunyili, was murdered by gunmen in Anambra state.

In late 2022, gunmen attacked another office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in the Oru West Local Government Area of Imo state.

Also, in January 2023, gunmen struck again as they abducted and beheaded the Sole Administrator, SOLAD, of Ideato North local government area of Imo state, Mr Christopher Ohizu.

Most of the attacks perpetrated by the gunmen have been linked to aggrieved followers of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who vowed at a time that elections would not be held in the region.

Meanwhile, while IPOB has denied involvement in these attacks several times, security agencies believed the insecurity in the region should be traced to the group.
