Rivers State Government has been called upon to inaugurate a special security Task Force that would assist in reducing to the barest minimum the rate of insecurity, armed robbery and other forms of criminality at Omoku town, headquarters of the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the state.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive of Caledonia Hotel and Victoria Plaza, Mr Sunny Robert made the call during an interview with journalist at Omoku town, weekend.
He said that the call became imperative as the criminals carry out their nefarious activities and dastardly acts despite efforts made by the police and Joint Task Force (JTF) in the area.
According to Mr. Robert, there is tendency that the situation may be worse with the Nchaka traditional festival commencing today and the Yelutide, urging the governor to quickly dispatch a special security squad to Omoku town to save the people.
He lamented that the incessant occurrence of armed robbery attacks on innocent citizens have led to loss of lives and properties, invariably jeopardising business activities in the area.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive stated that residents of Omoku town are no longer sure of safety of their lives and property as the normal peaceful atmosphere in the Community is no more, urging the governor to come to the people’s rescue.
Mr. Robert said that armed robbers had attacked Caledonia Hotel and Victoria Plaza located at No 21 Cemetery road, Omoku, robbed guests of their belongings, destroyed properties worthy thousands of naira and carted away huge sum of money.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
