Relative peace has returned to commercial roads in Rivers State especially communities in Ikwere Local Government Area hitherto notorious 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”.But Nwanosike expressed happiness that after two years of his administration, he and his team worked with the state government and other stakeholders to flush out the criminals terrorizing the council.
“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”.
