A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Abua-Odual local government and former commissioner for Housing, Dr. Ode ThankGod have condemned the attack on Sterling Oil Exploration Company site by unknown gunmen on Monday morning which lead to the death of four persons (two soldiers, one driver and a police officer) at Ogbemakoku/Iyak Communities in Abua/Odual Local Government Area.
Dr. Ode in a press statement issued to newsmen sympathized with the families of the soldiers, police officer and the driver who lost their lives in the bloody gun attack by the unknown hoodlums and prays for their souls to rest in peace.
He called on the Rivers State Government, Commissioner of Police and other security agencies
in Rivers State to immediately investigate the crime and bring the perpetrators of this ugly incident to book.
Dr. Ode also called on the Federal Government to station a security outpost of Joint Task Force (JTF) within the Okpeden-Degema water ways to checkmate the security activities in the area which is a major hideout and operation routes for criminals terrorising near by communities.
Government should take issues of security seriously especially now that the nation is drawing close to the 2019 general elections.
He urged all youths of Abua/Odual origin to shun all forms of violence and criminal act that will truncate the existing peace in the local government.
