The Rivers State Police command has expressed sadness over the unwarranted and senseless killing going on in Khana and Gokana Local Government Areas in the state.
Mustapha Dandaura, the commissioner of Police, during a press briefing at the command headquarters, Moscow Road, said the high level of politics of bitterness going on Rivers state has denied the state of meaningful development and driving away investors.
He said no investors would invest in an environment with rancour and bitterness as every investor wants a return on investment and as such would stay where they are comfortable with making their money.
CP Dandaura added that the high level of cultism in the state was as a result of youth unemployment, saying that peace must be returned to change the narrative.
The state commissioner of people Mustapha Dandaura also revealed that the Police, in conjunction with the Nigerian ARMY, has embarked on cleansing Ogoni Land of cult and cultism.
He appealed to sons and daughters from Ogoni land to cooperate with the security forces to restore peace to the Area.
He also appealed to the political gladiators to unite for the sake of the state and those who look up to them morally as role models to eschew bitterness, name-calling and backbiting to form a force that could develop the state.
‘’The command will not rest on its oars as we will continue to fight crime. We urge you all to remain law-abiding as we provide the best policing to safeguard lives and properties’’ he added
