“The governor is working tirelessly in collaboration with security agencies in the state and would ensure that these acts of criminality are nipped in the bud,” Iyofor said.
“These criminals seem to specialise in robbing banks or people going to or coming from banks or persons moving cash to or from banks. Our investigations have revealed that these robberies are perpetrated by gangs who are in a mad rush for money to spend in the fast approaching yuletide season. These bank and associated robberies we are seeing in the past few weeks are Christmas related.
“But we want to assure residents of the state that new and fresh security measures are now in place to deal with these criminals. We want to assure residents of Port Harcourt that we are on the trail of these criminal gangs, and sooner than later, they would have to answer for all their heinous crimes.”
“Specific security arrangements have been put in place to deal with these criminal elements. we urge the people to remain calm and extremely vigilant as they go about their daily business”, Iyofor added. Amaechi further warned the criminals to leave the state immediately or be ready to face the full wrath of the law and the state government.
