He also frowned at criminals destroying government infrastructures, stating that there were pockets of violence in certain local government areas of the State.
He however noted that Governor Siminalayi Fubara has put in so much effort for peace to reign in the State adding that he has shown exceptional resilience in the face of provocation.
The Speaker of the Rivers State 10th Assembly pointed out that the government has sacrificed too much for peace and wondered why Police should allow any person or group of persons to perpetrate very unpatriotic acts without legitimate repercussions.
