GOVERNOR WIKE ASSURES RIVERS RESIDENTS THAT HE IS NOT INTIMIDATED BY THE ATTACK ON SECURITY AGENTS IN THE STATE
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has assured residents of the State that he is not intimidated by the attack on security operatives in the State.
The Governor gave this assurance in a statewide broadcast on Monday May 10.
Wike, who commiserated with the families of the dead officers, said security agents are on the trail of the perpetrators of the crime.
‘’We wish to assure every resident that we are not intimidated by the sporadic and cowardly attacks on predetermined security targets by faceless criminals on our soil; neither will we be cowed into succumbing to a baseless and doomed secessionists agenda.,’’ he said.
In a bid to improve the security of all residents, the Governor also reviewed the existing night time curfew across the 23 Local Government Areas, which will now start from 7 p.m. and end at 6 a.m. until further notice from tomorrow 11th May 2021.

The Governor further said his administration has reviewed and declined the pressure on the State Government to activate the youth to defend the State from the attackers.
‘’We have reviewed, and for the moment, declined the pressure on the State Government to activate our youth to defend the State from these terrorists because we don’t want to complicate our very delicate security situation by creating opportunities for some other monsters to emerge.
‘’However, we are determined to deploy everything at our disposal to advance the safety and security of lives and property in our State and nothing will stop us from defeating the evil forces presently threatening our individual and collective security,’’ the Governor said.
