The Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State, Hon David Irimagha, has stated that hard times await criminal elements terrorising Bonny water-way as he lunches a state -of -the -art armoured gunboat equipped with modern security gadgets to combat sea pirates terrorising seafarers travelling to Bonny island.
Commissioning the gunboat, last Tuesday, in Bonny Island, the council chairman said: “It is no longer business as usual for the sea pirates as all measures have been put in place to ensure sea pirates are totally wiped out from the surface of Bonny sea.
Irimagha further stated that Bonny Island plays host to several multinational Oil companies, but its waterways have been in recent times under severe attacks by sea pirates terrorising both visitors and indigenes plying the water-routes, which has become too worrisome to all.
He promised to make use of the meagre resources available to him to develop Bonny local government area, pointing out that all must feel the impact of the PDP led administration in the area.
“I want to urge you all not to deter in your profession as the harsh economic situation in the is biting hard on all sectors,” while assuring that despite all odds they will enjoy the dividends of democracy.
“We were urged to provide that enabling environment and dividends of democracy to our people,” adding that he will do all that is possible to ensure the people feel the impact of the government.”
He noted that the security is doing all to ensure that there is tight security and peace in Bonny, adding that under his leadership, he would ensure that Bonny LGA is saved.
Irimagha urged the people to desist from gossips and criticism as it doesn’t bring about development and unity among the people, adding that his administration would always turn those criticisms for good.
“We don’t response to criticism, but see it as positive drive to bring forth dividends of democracy to the people.”
He said that the gun boat purchased by the LGA was to support the security agency to fight crime.

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.
