State Of Emergency: IGP Takes Critical Action In Rivers by Kosiso12(op): 2:15pm On Mar 21, 2025
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun on Friday, March 21, directed the immediate deployment of additional Police officers to Rivers State.

The IGPs directive follows the recent declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State and suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other elected officers by President Bola Tinubu.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the IGPs decision is aimed at providing improved security to the people of Rivers State and Nigeria at large.

Adejobi said the Police personnel in the state will work with the officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces and other sister agencies to maintain law and order in Rivers.

Residents of the state have also been urged to go about their routine activities and ensure they do not engage in actions that could lead to the breakdown of law and order.

Also individuals with criminal intentions have been urged to stay away from Rivers State.

“The Nigeria Police Force emphasises that aggrieved individuals retain the right to seek legal redress through the appropriate judicial channels. Consequently, any attempt to exploit the situation through unlawful gatherings, protests, or activities to disrupt public peace will be met with the full force of the law. Citizens are urged to remain law-abiding, comply with all legal directives, and continue their daily activities without fear.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining peace and security. Members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activities that may compromise public safety,” Adejobi stated.

When is the president, IGP and Chief of army going to issue a statement on the gruesome murder of these soldiers, it’s been over 72 hours since they’ve been killed. Is the president also going to declare another state of emergency or is he going to just look the other way?

Seems this guys expected riots in other to justify this ...

So that they can extend it till November when the LGA election would hold

Fubara might be playing 3D game here... I personally would have falling for it honestly

There would not be any need to extend this state of emergency

Well what do I know

More totalitarian governance will be extended to Nigerians by Tinubu since they seem to love the overthrow of Fubara in Rivers, with no protest

Why the increase presence of armed men n police officiers in the state, was there any break down of law and order in Rivers state?

The police should better behave well n be orderly cos the people there are already "unhappy " with turns of event there.

They should gently collect there N100 from motorist n not harass or intimidate anyone except they want a version of the end sars drama.

So why did he not give Fubara these police security ?

What is Vice Admiral Joe Blow going to do, that Fubara could not do ?

Fubara who has a mandate, will actually have sympathizers who would listen to him from the different communities.

Nobody knows Vice Admiral Joe Blow and he cannot build relationship with these communities in a short time.

Also with the terrain of where the pipelines are located , dialogue is better than force......

You cannot kill the bee resting on your testicles with force.

Peace has been taken away from the Earth.

Lasting peace will come very soon.
