The Police in Rivers State has warned residents of the state to limit their movements during night hours along the Elele-Omerelu and Isiokpo-Elele Roads in Ikwerre Local Government Area due to the rising spate of kidnappings.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Mustapha, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Port Harcourt.
According to him, the command has carried out a comprehensive security deployment along the road.
“We have carried out a comprehensive security deployment along the roads from Airport Roundabout Omagwa to Isiokpo, Elele, and extending to the boundary with Imo, and from Elele to Omoku, Elele-Alumini. By the grace of God, these areas are now fortified.”
“We are urging road users to limit their movements during the night hours. Traveling after midnight is extremely risky. Our goal is to make these roads safer for everyone throughout the holiday season and beyond,” he said.
