The Rivers State Government has called on residents of the state to be security conscious, and not leave security in the hands of the Police alone.
Gov. Fubara made the call while reacting to the attack on a passenger boat by sea pirates in Bonny on Thursday.
According to him, security agencies are usually stationed along the waterways between 7:00am – 5:00pm, and wondered why the boat was traveling at night, after security personnel had left the sea.
He advised residents to help protect themselves, adding that the Police cannot be everywhere at all times.
He also assured of his administration’s commitment to assisting the police in the protection of lives and property.
Sources say a boat was attacked on Thursday by pirates along the Bonny waterways, with all passengers on board abducted.
