The Rivers State Government has condemned the killing of some innocent persons at Mgbuoshimini in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State by gunmen who came through the waterfront.
The state Government has also directed the police and security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous act at all cost.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Emma Okah.
The statement added that the sudden breakdown of security architecture in Rivers was a fallout of the activities of some politicians in Eleme Local Government Area at the weekend where over one thousand policemen and other security agents as well as some Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) were redeployed from their duty posts.
“This sad incident underscores the stand of Rivers State Government that security and crime prevention is the concern of everybody and should not be politicized so that the state can grow. A moment like this calls for a collective effort on the part of all.
“The State Government is ready to spare nothing to support the security agencies get these killers irrespective of where they are found. Even in their holes, smoke them out from there and you should have no rest until we get to the end of the case, until we see justice.
“Rivers State Government will continue to give the security agencies all the support they require to ensure the security of our state and reduce incidents of crime,” Okah said.
