Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has said he’s passionate about fighting crime to a standstill in the state.

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, appreciated the synergy that had been expressed by stakeholders, noting that if Rivers State was not peaceful and free of crime, development would not be sustained and people would not sleep with their two eyes closed.


He said the state government had always partnered the police and other security agencies to fight crime, adding that under the watch of the immediate past Governor Nyesom Wike, surveillance and tactical centres were set up where surveillance and tactical operations were carried out across the state.


According to him, “We are synergising with the police to ensure that Rivers State is peaceful, loving and calm to everyone who comes here to do business.

“I want to plead with all of us that this is not a thing we should leave for the police or religious leaders alone. I want to tell us that all of us must play a role, it is time for everybody to participate.”


Fubara who commended the State Commissioner of Police, Emeka Nwonyi and his team for initiating the Rivers Zero Crime Campaign said this initiative was the first of its kind.


In his address, CP Emeka Nwonyi, commended Governor Fubara, for the support he has continued to give to the State Police Command in ensuring that the state remains crime-free


He stated that the Rivers Zero Crime Campaign was borne out of the need to build trust, fight crime and promote a positive union between the police and the citizens.
