Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has promised to give out N30m to anybody with information that leads to arrest of notorious criminal Bobrisky.
Bobrisky from Gokana Local Government area of the state has been terrorising the state for a while now.
Reacting to the killing of a director with the state government during the crisis that happened in Choba area of the state, Wike said his government would not leave any stone unturned in protecting people’s lives and property, adding that he will give N30 million to anyone who could give useful information that would lead to the arrest of those who committed the crime.
Proscribing all youth groups operating in the state because they had been hijacked by cultists, he said: “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. “We are one state that has suffered neglect from the federal government in terms of support to fight insecurity. They have refused to pay back funds that we used in constructing federal projects. But that will not stop us from intervening when the need arises.”
He also declared that the state government was fully prepared to tackle insecurity and would do everything required to protect lives and property, declaring that the state government had proscribed all youth groups operating in the state because they had been hijacked by cultists. He said: “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. “We are one state that has suffered neglect from the federal government in terms of support to fight insecurity. They have refused to pay back funds that we used in constructing federal projects. But that will not stop us from intervening when the need arises.”
The governor said that he resolved to increase the support to the security agencies because of the successes recorded by Operation Sting. He regretted that cultists had taken over youth groups across the state, necessitating the proscribing all youth groups. “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. Wike said that the vehicles and gunboats donated to the security agencies must be deployed to secure the state. He announced that the state government would establish a trust fund to cater for the families of policemen who lose their lives while fighting crime.
