Rivers governor names DPO who is into oil bunkering
Meanwhile, Governor Nyesom Wike on Friday, January 14, during a meeting with the leadership of the police in Rivers, named some big shots who are into oil bunkering.
The Rives governor named the DPO in Emohua LGA as one of the top suspects.
Wike who thanked the commissioner of police in the state for transferring the DPO stated that the high-ranking officer must leave the state.
The governor said it is quite unfortunate that persons who should enforce the laws of the land are violating them.
The outspoken governor said while he remains the leader of the state, he cannot allow such a person to remain in Rivers.
He revealed:
“It’s unfortunate for this country how security people will be involved in illegal bunkering. I can’t believe it. Mr. CP, I thank you for transferring the DPO in Rumuji, who owns a refinery. But the man must leave here, not transferred. He must leave this state.
“I can’t be governor here and security man owns an illegal refinery. No, it is not possible, the man has to go. Take him to wherever they allow bunkering..."
