Bayelsa State Government, yesterday, insisted that perpetrators of last month’s attack on Opu-Nembe in Nembe Council of the state, which left four persons dead, must face the law. The state Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, made the declaration during a meeting with members of Opu-Nembe Council of Chiefs, and security service commanders in Government House, Yenagoa.
He said government was ready to work closely with security agencies in the state to ensure that those behind the February 15 attack were identified, apprehended and prosecuted, no matter how highly placed they are in society. “As a government, we don’t condone crime and criminality. Whoever that is involved in this dastardly act of killing people for whatever reasons must face the full weight of the law.”
