Bobrisky Has Been Captured, Pledges to Redeem N30m Bounty-Says Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, Friday announced that troops of the Nigerian Army have captured notorious cultist, Bobrisky.

The governor, however, assured the Nigerian Army that he would redeem his N30 million bounty.

"Anyone who generates insecurity in Rivers State, I am ready to pay any amount to ensure the arrest of that person," the governor said.

"The Army has captured Bobrisky of Gokana. I will pay the bounty that I promised to the Nigerian Army.

He described Rumuolumeni as one of the flashpoints in the state, where criminals use the waterway as a getaway point. He urged community leaders to cooperate with the state government to check the activities of cult groups and insecurity in the area.

Wike called on community leaders to supply information to the state security council on criminals in their communities for the security agencies to act frontally to reduce crime.

He said by the end of the month, contractors would be mobilised to commence work on the selected road.

On the issue of road construction, Wike assured the people of the area that key roads in the community would be constructed by his administration.
