Governor Wike Lifts State Wide Curfew in Rivers State by coins501(m): 7:14pm On Jul 06, 2021
The Rivers State governor has reviewed the State wide curfew in Rivers State.
In a Statewide broadcast by the Governor today 6th JULY 2021. The governor addressed the State thus

"My dear people of Rivers State
1 In response to the security breaches and premeditate attacks and killing of security officers in some of our neighboring States by gunmen we imposed a night-time curfew on our land borders with other States on the 28th of April 2021.

2. Following the premediated attack and killing of some security personnel in Abua and Ikwerre Local Government Areas by gunmen, we were forced to impose a statewide curfew from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m.

3. On the 11th of May 2021, the gunmen defied the existing curfew and carried out yet another murderous attack and killing of some security personnel in the State. This prompted the review of the statewide curfew from 7.00 pm to 6.00 a.m.

4. Then, on the 16th of May 2021 the existing curfew timeframe was readjusted to 8.30 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. for Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas only.
5. As we have reiterated severally, we understand the extremity of these measures, especially their negative impact on business and the social-economic wellbeing of the State and its residents.

6. However, in taking these measures, our primary concern and interest was and still remains the security of the State and no sacrifice or price can be said to too much to endure for the preservation of lives and property.

7. And as we have severally stated, the curfew is not going to last a day beyond necessary.

8. Consequently, sequel to the measurable improvements in the security situation in the State as well as in our neighbouring States, we have decided to lift the existing curfew on the entire State from tomorrow 7th July 2021.

9. While we thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this trying period, we must all remain security conscious and report any suspicious situation to the security agencies for action.

10. On our part, we will not fail to deploy every resource at our disposal to ensure the safety of lives and property while advancing the wellbeing of all residents.

11. This is the very reason we are clearing the State of shanties that have become veritable sanctuaries for criminals and criminal activities across the State. Clearly, our actions in this direction are not directed or targeted at any particular person, identity or group.

12. Once again, thank you all for your support, prayer and solidarity as we continue to work together to keep Rivers State safe and secure for all.

13. Thank you and may God bless Rivers State."

Thanks to the good people of Rivers State who endured the hardship associated with the cufew, the aim was totally acheived.
Those Ipob terrorists who think they can overrun our dear state were totally decimeted.

This will send a very beautiful message to any idiot or group of idiots from any tribe in Nigeria who will want to taste our resolve and take our hospitality for granted.

The message is loud and clear.
