Why is this Gov'nor trying to deceive the public with this ehn, when he knows the perpetrators of this heinous crime against Omoku and Rivers people.
Wike and Felix Obua created this demon when they empowered their boys led by Don Wanni with millions and assorted high calibre weapons to fight their political opponents, now that same demon have turned their guns on innocent citizens.

PDP turned a once prosperous local government to a no go area as businesses and residents have all fled the area since 2015 while cultist and criminal gangs have a field day.

Wike should fish out Don Wanni first so that he will answer for this crime

2?

The elders of that community and the neigh boring communities should be held responsible until they produce the perpetrators.
until they call a spade a spade these killings will continue
