Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has ordered the immediate
redeployment of a Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in Emohua Local Government
Area of the State for operating an illegal refinery.
The Governor gave the order on Friday during a meeting with
the council chairmen at the Government House, Port Harcourt where he issued a
48-hour ultimatum to the council bosses to provide a list of illegal refineries
in their domain.
Wike also lambasted heads of the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air
force, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Police, the Directorate of State Services and
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for allegedly allowing officers to
aid crimes in the State.
Governor Wike who told the State’s Police Commissioner, Eboka Friday to immediately redeploy the DPO and other officers allegedly aiding crimes in the State, also ordered the arrest of Chief W. J. Wocha, Fubara Ohaka, and Promise Ezekwe for operating illegal refineries.
“It’s unfortunate for this country how security people will
be involved in illegal bunkering. I can’t believe it. Mr. CP, I thank you for
transferring the DPO in Rumuji, who owns a refinery. But the man must leave
here, not transferred.
“He must leave this State. I can’t be Governor here and a
security man owns an illegal refinery. No, it is not possible…the man has to
go. Take him to wherever they allow bunkering.”
Wike, who was concerned about the harmful effects of the
refineries on the health of residents, further urged the Commandant of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Rivers State command, to immediately
transfer its personnel in charge of vandalization of pipelines in the State.
“Transfer the man, and tell him to leave. He is a complete
saboteur. I mean, how can security men be the one involved in this. What kind
of country are we?” He lamented.
