The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike says the State is too hot for criminals to invade and attack security operatives and that hoodlums are already coming to terms with the reality.
Wike, said this during a state-wide broadcast at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Friday.
The governor, also disclosed that there are hideouts, and secret places that provide hoodlums comfort to plan, execute and return to after operations.
He ordered the destruction of such criminal hideouts and all shanties in Ahoada, Elele, Eleme and Onne to prevent attempt to undermine efforts of security operatives.
“We have equally decided to destroy all the shanties, illegal shops and mechanic sheds along the Eleme to Onne stretch of the East-West road having discovered these places also as hideouts and operational bases for criminals and criminal activities in the State,” he said.
“Consequently, I hereby direct owners of such shanties and illegal structures along the Eleme – Onne axis of the East-West road to vacate the area within two weeks from today 11th June 2021 as the State Government will go ahead to destroy these structures without any further notice,” Wike added.
