Peace has returned to roads in Rivers State especially communities in Ikwere Local Government Area known for kidnapping, cultism, rape, murder and other criminal activities.
He said roads linking some communities such as Isiokpo, Elele, Ubima, Omarelu, Aluu, Omagwa and others were impassible because of the activities of criminals, who made lives horrible for commuters and drivers. “They were holding light weapons. They were lurking around the local government. It is now a thing of the past. Kidnapping in Elele, Owerri road; Ubima, Omarelu, Aluu, Omagwa. Some days we had five cases”.
“We encouraged the repentant criminals to embrace the governor’s amnesty programme and effectively hounded and dealt with those, who declined to turn a new leaf. We encouraged, empowered and funded vigilantes to take charge of the security of our communities and provide intelligence to the formal security agencies”.
