The Nigerian Army has captured the notorious cultist Bobrisky of Gokana, hours after Governor Nyson Wike declared him wanted.
The governor made the disclosure during a security meeting with leaders of Rumuolumeni Community at the Government House Port Harcourt on Friday.
Mr Wike, who thanked the Nigerian Army for capturing the suspected cultist, pledged to redeem the N30million bounty placed on Mr Bobrisky’s head.
“The Army has captured Bobrisky of Gokana. I will pay the bounty that I promised to the Nigerian Army.
“Anyone who generates insecurity in Rivers State, I am ready to pay any amount to ensure the arrest of that person”.
Governor 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 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.
Spokesman of the Rumuolumeni Community, Collins Wagbara expressed happiness that Governor Wike has commenced the process of constructing key roads in the area.
He lauded the Rivers State Governor for upgrading a major Secondary School in the area.
Mr Wagbara assured the Rivers State Governor that the community is working with security agencies for the restoration of peace in the area.
