Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike has placed a N30million bounty on a notorious criminal, ‘Bobrisky’, who
has been terrorizing Gokana Local Government Area.
He said the bounty extends to information
on killers of a Director with the Rivers State Government during the Choba
crisis.
Wike also banned all youth groups
in Rivers, lamenting that they have all been hijacked by cultists.
Wike spoke on Thursday when he
handed over 40 patrol vans fitted with communication gadgets to the Federal
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS), C4I, Police Anti-Kidnapping Unit, Police
Anti-Cultism Unit, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and Eagle Crime at the
Government House, Port Harcourt.
The affected youth groups include
the Ikwerre Youth Movement (IYM), Ogoni Youth Movement (OYM), Bonny Youth
Assembly (BYA), and Ekpeye Youth Federation (EYF), among others.
The governor explained that his
decision was in line with his administration’s resolve to tackle insecurity and
do everything necessary to protect lives and property.
He announced that the Rivers
State Government will establish a Trust Fund to cater for the families of
policemen who lose their lives while fighting crime.
“Rivers State Government is fully
prepared and will do everything required to protect lives and property. Without
the protection of lives and property, there will be no governance and
development”, the governor said.
Wike expressed his
administration’s resolve to increase support to the security agencies because
of the successes recorded by Operation Sting.
“Anybody operating under a youth
body henceforth will be arrested by security agencies. Before you contest for
any youth body’s leadership, you must send the names to the DSS and Police for
screening. If they are cultists, we will not allow them to operate”, he said.
