Insecurity: Wike extends curfew in Rivers over violent attacks
The governor of Rivers State, Nyeosom Wike has today extended the night curfew across all local government areas in the state from 7 PM – 6 AM, with effect from Tuesday, in order to ameliorate the dastardly attacks on the people of the state.
Wike said that the decision was reached in the eyes of multiple armed attacks on police checkpoints along the East-West road which resulted in the murder of about seven police officers during the weekend.
The governor in a broadcast on Monday said after the review of the manner and the recent attacks on these officers the state security council discovered that the perpetuators moved in unhindered from Oyigbo to launch the attack.
This broadcast was relayed to newsmen by the Special Assistant to the governor on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, on Monday.
The statement read, “However, as a further step towards enhancing our collective safety, we have reviewed the existing nighttime 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 security agencies are hereby directed to note the new curfew time, ensure strict compliance and effectively deal with any person or group that violates or attempts to violate it.

“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.”
“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,” the governor added.
