Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared nineteen (19) persons wanted for operating illegal crude oil refining sites responsible for the black soot pandemic in the State.

The governor has also directed the Rivers State Head of Service to query one Mr. Temple Amakiri, a Director in the Ministry of Energy, for abetting bunkering activities and hand him over to the police for investigation and possible prosecution.

Governor Wike, in a statewide broadcast on Sunday said the government is resolved to pragmatically tackle the soot pandemic by destroying and closing down all identified illegal crude oil refining sites and activities in the State.

He stated that following his 2022 New Year Message outlining measures to tackle the black soot menace, the State Taskforce on Illegal Street Trading

raided some illegal crude oil refining sites in Port Harcourt and arrested a number of recalcitrant persons.

"Furthermore, the following persons who have been identified as kingpins of bunkering and illegal crude oil refining activities in their communities have been declared wanted and directed to report themselves to the State Police Command, to whom we have already passed their details to:

"Mr. Azubike Amadi, OSPAC Commander, Ogbogoro community and Chairman of Akpor Central OSPAC; Mr. India, of Rumuolumeni community and Chairman of Oil bunkering Association in Akpor kingdom; Mr. Okey who is in charge of Oil bunkering in Rumupareli; Mr. Anderson, who is in charge of oil bunkering activities in Ogbogoro community; Amadi Gift of Ogbogoro community; Azeruowa of Ogbogoro community; and Kingsley Egbula, also of Ogbogoro community.

"Also declared wanted are the following persons who are alleged to be in charge of oil bunkering activities in Isiokpo community: Mr. Kemkom Azubike, Mr. Mezu Wabali, Mr. Chigozi Amadi, Mr. Opurum Owhondah, Mr. Bakasi Obodo ,Mr. Opus, Mr. Galaxi Mas, Mr. Chioma, Mr. Ogondah, Mr. Soldier, Mr. Chefo, and Nkasi.

"We have also identified those behind illegal bunkering activities in Okrika communities, Port Harcourt Township, Rivers South-East and Rivers South-West Senatorial Districts and their names would be soon published and declared wanted, if they fail to voluntarily report to the police."

He urged residents of the State to report those involved in illegal crude oil refineries and other damnable activities to the Task Forces already set up at the State and Local Government levels for immediate action.

Governor Wike also reaffirmed the total ban on the use of motorcycles in Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt councils, which was necessitated by the collective threat they posed to the security of lives and property.

"Any person or corporate entity that requires the use of motorcycle for any lawful purposes must therefore first apply to the office of the Governor for permit and proper documentation of the operational details and particulars of both the motorcycle and designated rider(s).

"Against this background, we are hereby issuing the final warning to all those operation motorcycles shuttles and or hawking foreign exchange along Birabi Street, Hotel Presidential, GRA junction by Zenith Bank up to Tombia Street to immediately leave or be arrested and prosecuted."

The governor accused the traditional leadership, including members of Community Development Committees and youth leaders of Rumuola, Rumuogba and Okoro-nu-odo communities of collecting money from vendors and allowing street trading activities around and under the flyovers in these communities.

"Consequently, I hereby direct the traditional leadership of Rumuola, Rumuogba and Okoro-nu-odo communities to immediately stop all street trading activities around, in or under the flyovers in their respective domains or be deposed, arrested and prosecuted.

"Similarly, the traditional leadership of Rumuwoji Mgbuduku, Obiekwe, Nkpolu-Oroworokwo, Abali, Rebisi, Rumukalagbor-Oroworokwo and Ezimgbu communities are hereby directed to enforce the ban and ensure that no form of trading takes place around and under the flyovers located in their communities.

Consequently, I hereby direct the traditional leadership of Rumuola, Rumuogba and Okoro-nu-odo communities to immediately stop all street trading activities around, in or under the flyovers in their respective domains or be deposed, arrested and prosecuted.

"Similarly, the traditional leadership of Rumuwoji Mgbuduku, Obiekwe, Nkpolu-Oroworokwo, Abali, Rebisi, Rumukalagbor-Oroworokwo and Ezimgbu communities are hereby directed to enforce the ban and ensure that no form of trading takes place around and under the flyovers located in their communities."

Governor Wike also placed a total ban on the use of umbrella and table trading stands in the entire old and new GRAs of Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt City, Eleme councils.

According to him, government has credible evidence that most these purported traders in front of houses are informants who monitor and pass on vital details and information on the daily movement of very important persons to their criminal collaborators.

Governor Wike frowned at the failure of the Rumuokurushe traditional leadership to honour the terms of their undertaking not to allow any form of street trading on the Rumuokurushe market.

"Unfortunately, the Rumuokurushe traditional leadership has apparently failed to comply with or enforce this condition in that market and Government will not hesitate to again shut it down if the ongoing breach continues unabated."

91.7 Wave FM-Rivers State governor, Nyesom Nzenwo Wike

John wick Wike in action

Interestingly,there's little difference between what the environmental destroyers in Port Harcourt in Rivers State are doing and what the terrorists are doing in Zamfara. The social cost of their unpatriotic actions is huge!
It's an indictment on the Governor that it took persistent pleas and complaints of the victims before he called out these alleged criminals.

I like this man

everything for 9ja just dey upsidedown Tumble people will engage in illegal business causing harm to other but we will see it as business, if this sooth is not happening the people involve will be worship as Millionaire. Wike thumbs up.

LOL.

Wike, know that decades of oil mining by the Nigerian government is the cause of black soot in PH. Bunkering also contributed but the activities of mining for years by FG is the major cause of this black soot. Offshore and onshore mining!!!

The black soot is coming mostly from Okrika illegal refineries. But yet the same Okrika boys will come on Nairaland and complain of black soot. You see how black people behave.

Nice start, I hope they find solution to that soonest. It's not safe living in that environment

Do you know that baboon will come up with a better explaination if given a smartphone?
Even a brain-dead person knows that more than 50% of Rivers state is made up of Igbo/Igboid groups and they bear Igbo names.
so, Nyesom Wike is also from the SE?

We hope the soot becomes a thing of the past in 2022.

He knows
Everyone knows
Wike can't confront the federal government, so he resorted to blaming oil bunkering.

Hope they are not his enemies

I really like this guy of a governor, the black soot and all the environmental problems in the Niger Delta are caused by the nefarious activities of these people and governor Wike cannot be party to it. Carry on Wike, the tormentor of Ipob terrorists, you have our support 100%

They should be hunted and killed like rats

Only Igbo riverians

I think the blame is on point this time around.
