The Rivers State government has on Saturday warned individuals or groups fanning the embers of discord in the state to have a rethink, IgbereTV reports
The government was reacting to the threats that trailed the arrest of a lawmaker and some suspected cultists who disrupted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) screening of aspirants vying for elective positions in the state.
Governor Wike had during the week ordered the state police command arrest a member of the House of Representatives representing the Bonny-Degema Federal Constituency, Farah Dagogo, for allegedly recruiting cultists to attack the PDP office in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
In a statement issued by the governor’s media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, the state government said it would not tolerate people trying to disrupt the peace in the state.
The statement read: “As a government that respects and upholds the tenets of rule of law, we will ensure that all those who choose lawlessness, and seek to destroy the country’s democracy, will face the force of the law
