The
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Tuesday, supervised the demolition of a
structure in Rumuolumeni. The structure is said to be the hideout of a
suspected notorious cultist in the state.
The
criminal identified as Munachim Ihunwo was said to have a camp with about 200
boys. Lieutenant Colonel Unaogu revealed this while briefing the Governor. He
also said Ihunwo and his boys were arrested in their hideout which had human
skulls and a tunnel.
Nyesom
Wike commended the joint efforts of the Police and Army in fighting crime in
the state. The Governor said that the land where the demolished building was
will be acquired by the State Government, to build a police station.
“The
Rivers State Government has taken over the criminal hideout of these arrested
cultists. After the ongoing demolition of their hideout, we will build a police
station and mini barracks in this location. We have also taken over the home of
the kingpin that we have also demolished.
“This
is to let members of the public know that this administration is serious. We
will not allow anyone to cause insecurity in this state. We will chase
criminals to their hideout and recover crime.”
The
Governor reiterated his offer of amnesty to repentant cultists in the state.
“Let
them submit their arms and we will give them amnesty.”
