SECURITY OPERATIVES HAVE ARRESTED TWO IPOB KINGPINS IN OYIGBO - WIKE

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, says two kingpins of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) involved in the killing of six soldiers and four policemen in Oyigbo, have been arrested by security operatives.

He has also maintained that the imposition of curfew in Oyigbo Local Government Area helped to prevent an outbreak of inter-ethnic war between Igbo and Hausa communities in the area.

The Governor stated this when Rotary District 9141 Governor, Mrs Virginia Major led a delegation of Rotarians on a courtesy visit at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

He revealed that security operatives in late hours of yesterday arrested two prominent members of IPOB in Oyigbo.

Governor Wike explained that Rivers State was peaceful during the EndSARS protest, until criminals, under the guise of IPOB attempted to paint the State black by killing ten security agents in Oyigbo.

He noted that while Rivers State has been home to every ethnic and religious groups, some misguided IPOB members, had taken this for granted by unleashing mayhem in Oyigbo and even attempted to cause inter-ethnic war.

“If we did not take the steps we took by imposing curfew in Oyigbo, today, it would have been the Hausa and Igbo that will have been fighting and nobody knows what level it would have taken today” he said.

The Governor said though he has had frosty relationship with Nigerian Army and the Police, he will, however, never tolerate the killing of any solider or police in the State.

“I will not support criminality. I won’t because the soldiers don’t like me, then you go and kill them. And then, I will come out and clap, thank you for killing the soldiers. Thank you for killing the police” he said.

He urged those spreading falsehood that Igbo people are being killed and punished in Oyigbo to be dispassionate when acts of criminality are committed. According to him, if IPOB members did not kill people and destroyed properties, Government will have had any justification to declare curfew in the council.

“No government will wake up in the morning to impose hardship on its people. No government will do that, but government has the right to protect life” he said.

Governor Wike lauded Rotary International for collaborating with government to Kick out polio in Nigeria. He assured the Rotarians that his administration will sustain the campaign against polio because no governor will be happy to hear about fresh outbreak of polio in any part of the country.

District 9141 Governor, Virginia Major, lauded Governor Wike for the manner he handled the well intentioned EndSARS protect, which was almost hijacked by miscreants.

She noted that while the world was facing COVID-19 pandemic of unimaginable proportions, Governor Wike and his colleagues and the Federal Government did not relent in their collective efforts to support polio immunisation at all levels.

“This led to the ultimate certification of Nigeria and by extension, Africa as free of the wild polio virus on August 2,2020 by the World Health Organisation, WHO” she said.

He urged the Governor to use his position to support all the renewed efforts of Government, Rotary and all its strategic partners in their quest for sustained surveillance, awareness, immunisation and of course, keeping polio at zero.

He killed innocent people and has the guts to be uttering gibberish.

For him mind

Nice and effective work by the security personnels.

No room for miscreants in Oyigbo

Gidgiddy, hope you aren't one of the kingpins arrested.

I wonder when Ipob is planning to cut off Wike's head as commanded by their stupid leader who fancies clout more than he does the lives of those he claims to lead.

The continuation of Lagos massacre lingers on

The Hitler Wike is even denying to call boko harem hausa fulani army to massacre Obigbo people

His worries have just started

Always crying blue murder have u beheaded Wike as Instructed by your terrorist leader?

I don't understand the relevance of the pictures attached here to the body of the news.

The police would have arrested up to 20 IPOB kingpins, if they had waited for the IPOB meeting.

This is senseless. So Wike killed tens of Oyigbo people just to arrest two kingpins

But I m sad for Oyigbo people because of the curfew

We pray it get relaxed just that the loud mouth in london will say another provocative thing that we put we igbos in trouble in oyigbo.
The curfew is getting relaxed now. Not up to 10 shots since morning in Oyigbo

Wike dey vex

TecM0:
Wike dey vex

Ipob drew a battle line. Kanu told his men on live radio to burn police station and kill police men. He then told them to behead Wike for him.
The IPOB terrorist group actually did as instructed by their leader. There were CCTVS in the police stations in oyigbo and this has helped in capturing the faces of the IPOB terrorist members responsible for hijacking the #ENDSARS protest and killing soldiers and police and taking their guns in Oyigbo.

Kanu is prolly drunk in his London flat.

Let Wike temper justice with mercy, the curfew would starve many Ipob foot soldiers to death while Kanu eats freshly cooked home made meal

TecM0:
Wike dey vex

The only mistake Wike made was sending only Hausa soldiers and these soldiers are angry with every Igbo man. Even me as an Igbo man I'm scared of going outside

The Foolish man is trying to do damage control.
