Wike stated that his administration had started the reconstruction of the security architecture in Ogoniland to ensure the protection of lives and property.
“We have been able to make Port Harcourt and its environs safer for the residents. Now, we will improve on the security of Bori and other communities in Ogoniland.
“We are supporting security agencies through the provision of necessary logistics to tackle crime. We will take the battle to the criminals in all their hideouts.”
