The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike, on Friday 26th July 2019, launched a new State security operations code – named ‘Operation Sting’ to improve the security of lives and property across the State.

Wike explained that the operation would be fully funded by the state government to tackle criminal elements and reduce crime and criminality in all parts of the state.

The governor said the security outfit would tackle the sources and drivers of insecurity, warning that all criminals in the state would be got rid of. He acknowledged that the state had faced major security challenges in the area of kidnapping, cult activities and armed robbery.

On logistics for the take – off of the outfit , Wike said,

“Under Operation Sting, we have taken concrete steps to strengthen the logistics and operational capability of the civil and armed security forces.
“Seventy -six patrol / operational vehicles fitted with communication gadgets, eight armoured fitted gunboats to tighten coastal security and protect our waterways from the activities of criminals.”

He also added that,

“Two Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) for police swift responses actions, 450 hand- held mobile radios to enhance communication among the security personnel and overcome the current wide gaps in intelligence gathering.”

He said the State Government had set up a fund to take care of their families should they suffer any calamity in the course of their service.
Governor Wike also said that there will be operational bases in all the 23 local government areas of the State to strengthen the command and control structures of the initiative and ensure effective coordination and synergy with the state headquarters, the LGAs and the communities.

Wike said the state was not yet as peaceful as the administration desired, hence the renewed effort to stamp out criminality.

In attendance of the event were heads of Security Agencies such as the Army, NSCDC, Police, and Navy.

In his remarks, the state Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, explained that the objective of the operation was to get rid of criminals and reduce crime to the barest minimum.
