ENUGU, Nigeria- South East Leaders today agreed to amend relevant laws to pave way for a smooth operation of the South East regional security outfit, Ebube Agu.
In a resolution signed by Ebonyi State Governor and Chairman South-east Governors Forum, Mr. David Umahi, the leaders directed State Attorney Generals and Commissioner for Justice to work with the Joint Security Committee to come up with the amendment of existing State laws to reflect the existence of Ebube Agu.
