The newly-deployed Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Tunji Disu, on his assumption of office on Tuesday directed policemen in the state to fish out the notorious cult member, popularly known as 2 Baba, and other criminals in Ahoada East Local Government Area.
The police boss gave the directive during a visit to the troubled community after he assumed duty as the commissioner of police in the state.
CP Disu also visited the Odieremenyi community, where five people were killed last weekend and assured residents of the safety of their lives and properties.
CP Disu, who was accompanied by senior police officers of the command, while addressing officers of Ahoada Area Command and Division, said, “I know how difficult it is for you people to enter those difficult areas.”
.He added, “I want you to know that we are going to support you with all required logistics. I want you to know how important we take your job. My first assignment was to come and see you and tell you how important you are”.
CP Disu further charged the officers to give him success by arresting the culprits, while adding that nobody will kill a police officer and go away scout-free.
He also advised the officers to keep safe to avoid injuries and fatalities.
Meanwhile, in an interaction with the Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area, Ben Eke Esq., CP Disu said the command under his watch will do everything possible to bring everlasting peace to the LGA.
The Rivers Police boss stated that the command will put in a lot of effort to ensure sustainable peace.
CP Disu while commending the LGA Chairman for all he is doing for the Police in the area, said his visit to the LGA is his first assignment as Commissioner of Police
The local government chairman, while responding, said, “I must tell you the truth. The police are trying. Several arrests have been made. What happened days ago is just a display of frustration, and they want to blackmail the government.”
“I must commend the police, and they should not be deterred at all. As a government, we are ready to provide the necessary support to ensure that those hoodlums are arrested and that the proper thing is done.”
The LG boss added, “We will give you every support to ensure you succeed as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State. For the Area Command, Division, and other security agencies in the area, we will give them the necessary support so that, at the end of the day, we will get the culprits.”
“Knowing again that the Yuletide is just around the corner if the culprits are not arrested and brought to book, our people will not come home. People are leaving the area”.
