Chief’s Council Boss Rates Wike High On Security
The Chairman, Igwuruta Council of Chiefs, Chief Earnest Wosu has rated Governor Nysom Wike high over the steady security network of the state.
Wosu said this when he spoke in an exclusive chat with The Tide at the weekend in Igwuruta, Ikwerre Local Government Area.
He said that Governor Wike had so far, proven that he has the interest of Rivers people at heart.
According to him, the security network of the state has risen to a stable height where interlopers and crime merchants would be forced to have a rethink.
Wosu who also is the Eze Omu Wosu family in Igwuruta, pointed that people now sleep with both eyes closed both in his community and the entire state unlike in past administrations.
Concerning his community, he said that total peace enjoyed in the area recently was courtesy of the embracement of a local vigilante group code named OSPAC.
The Igwuruta Council of Chiefs Chairman, recalled how some criminal elements operating under various secret cult group terrorised the area before the advent of vigilante group.
He said that his town was now among the most peaceful in the entire state, as people go about their lawful business without any form of fear.
He also expressed regrets that some humans could abandon their normal lives and venture into crime.
For the communities who are yet indecisive about the issue of considering OSPAC as a security option, he said that they should so do in their own interest.
“Before this period, our tenants were packing out. People abandoned the land they bought due to insecurity, but toady, we have bounced back to live”, he said.
Meanwhile, he pointed out that such feat would not have been achieved without synergy between the Nigerian Police and the Igwuruta Council of Chiefs, as he urged all in the area to shun crime and embrace peace.
