He said investigations are still ongoing, promising that all the people involved would be arrested once the investigations have been concluded. He added that the Command under his watch is mobilizing heavily to eradicate illegal arms and ammunition in Rivers State.
“We have shifted our operation to focus on one notorious cultist, kidnapper and even armed robber who goes by the name VIP. We are on his trail and although our strategies will not be made public, we will get him.
