Governor Wike Bans Street Protests, Condemns Biafra Protest by boman2014: 8:24pm On Nov 10, 2015
Read the press statement below..


Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has
banned all forms of street protests in the state,
condemning the street protests by the Indigenous
People of Biafra which have crippled commercial
activities in the state.


The governor declared : "let no
one be in doubt of the resolve of the Rivers State
Government and the security agencies to maintain law
and order at all cost within the State and preserve the
unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria." In a state-
wide broadcast on Tuesday night, Governor Wike
decried the movement of protesters from neighbouring
States into Rivers State, noting that they have inflicted
injuries on other citizens going about their lawful
businesses.


He said: "Majority of these individuals have come from
neighbouring States and in the course of these protests,
disrupted social and economic activities, damaged properties,
assaulted and inflicted injuries on other citizens going about
their lawful endeavours." "While individuals and groups are
free to exercise their freedom of expression, they must do so
peacefully and strictly within the bounds of the Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. No individual or group has the
right, whatsoever, to disturb public peace and order, threaten
the safety of the public and create fear and an atmosphere of
insecurity in the State or any part thereof."


"The right of any group of persons to agitate for their perceived
rights cannot be allowed to infringed on the rights of other
Nigerians, especially the people of Rivers State to remain an
integral component of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
Banning all forms of street protests, Governor Wike :



"Consequently, after due consultations with the members of
the State Security Council, and in exercise of my constitutional
responsibility to preserve the safety, security and corporate
integrity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is hereby ordered
that all forms of street protests, demonstrations, rallies or
unlawful gatherings associated with the agitations for the
secession of any group from the Federal Republic of Nigeria
are banned in Rivers State.


" Any person or group who violates this ban or acts in any
manner prejudicial to the interest of peace and security would
be arrested and prosecuted. " The governor commended
security agencies for their mature handling of the the protests
so far, urging them to continue to work in the right direction.
