I’ll No Longer Tolerate Criminals Intimidating Bayelsa State Residents – Governor Douye Diri

Senator Douye Diri

Bayelsa State Governor Senator Douye Diri has ordered security commanders to ensure the safe and unharmed release of Justice Ebiyerin Omukoro, a High Court Judge who was abducted by armed men in Yenagoa.

He recently gave the directive during his ongoing local government thank-you tour in Sagbama Local Government Area, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, there would be no hiding place for the perpetrators of such crimes henceforth, particularly with the state’s investment in efficient security infrastructure like closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.

He added that he was recently informed of the high-profile kidnapping, and security commanders have been charged with the responsibility of ensuring the judge is brought back alive and in good health.

His words, “From the moment I was informed about the high-profile kidnap of a judge of the state high court, I summoned security commanders and gave them a directive to ensure the judge is released alive and in good health.

Let me tell those involved or sponsoring such criminal acts — it is time to give up. You cannot terrorise and intimidate your own people. Government has invested so much in the security sector, and the installed CCTV cameras captured footage of the incident.”

WOW.
