A policeman and a vigilante operative have been killed in the line of duty in Rivers State following the local government crises rocking the state.
It was gathered that the sad deaths which occurred in Omuma Local Government Area on Tuesday, might not be unconnected with the invasion of the council headquarters at Eberi-Omuma.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said police have taken over all the 23 council secretariats to forestall further bloodshed.
“To forestall more bloodshed and prevent a further breakdown of law and order, the police have taken over all the 23 council secretariats and some critical government infrastructure in the state.”
