The Rivers State Government has expressed its resolve towards ending extrajudicial killings in the state, assuring that the State Security Council is working to secure the state and see that perpetrators of these crimes face the law.
Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, explained that over the last few weeks, the State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike had put in place measures to secure the lives of young women, who had been targeted by serial killer(s).
Speaking in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, he explained that security agencies had been mandated to work with hotels and their management to implement security measures that would end the ugly trend.
