Less than 24 hours after Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, placed a N30 million bounty on notorious cultist, Bobrisky of Gokana, the Nigerian Army has captured him, with Governor Wike confirming that he will redeem the pledge.

Speaking during a security meeting with Leaders of Rumuolumeni Community at the Government House Port Harcourt on Friday, Governor Wike thanked the Nigerian Army for capturing the suspected cultist

“The Army has captured Bobrisky of Gokana. I will pay the bounty that I promised to the Nigerian Army.

“Anyone who generates insecurity in Rivers State, I am ready to pay any amount to ensure the arrest of that person”.

Governor Wike called on Community Leaders to supply information to the State Security Council on criminals in their communities for the security agencies to act frontally to reduce crime.

He described Rumuolumeni as one of the flashpoints in the State, where criminals use the waterway as a getaway point. 
He urged Community Leaders to cooperate with the State Government to check the activities of cult groups and insecurity in the area.

On the issue of road construction, Governor Wike assured the people of the area that key roads in the community will be constructed by his administration. 
He added that by the end of the month, contractors will be mobilised to commence work on the selected road.

“Key roads in the area have been primed for construction. I urge you to have confidence in us that we will continue to develop the area “, he said.
