No Hiding Place For Criminals – Hawk Commander
In its determination to keep Oyigbo and its environment crime free, the Hawk Tactical Unit, Rivers Command, has warned criminals operating within the area to embrace peace or face wrath of the law.
This warning follows recent happenings in the area especially Igbo – Etche, where some unwanted elements were arrested for kidnapping, cyber crime, ritual and other forms of criminal activities.
Speaking to newsmen, the Hawk Commander, SP James Ananias, frowned seriously at the high level of youth involvement in crime and noted that the society would be doomed if drastic steps were not taking to check the ugly menace.
SP James vowed that his men were ready to chase them to their hideout to ensure peaceful coexistence of residents and business men and women.
In their determination to achieving this, SP James said his men had been commissioned to monitor and patrol the affected areas in order to restore sanity.
He called on landlords and residents to oblige the command with useful information aimed at tracking down the notorious criminals.
SP James said the crime zero tolerance of the Inspector General of Police still stands as the command would not compromise it .
He noted that the arrival of hawk in Rivers State had reduced crime to the barest minimum.
“It would interest you to note that all those involved in the Igbo- Etche crime have been transferred to the state criminal investigation for further investigation, if found wanting, will face full weight of the law.
“As it is the only way to save the society, we advise parents and guardians to monitor and checkmate the type of company their children keep.
SP James said the command has been working with sister agencies to ensure total peace and orderliness in the society.
