Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, says the Nigerian army has captured Bobrisky, a suspected notorious cultist, less than a day after he placed a N30 million bounty on him.
Wike was speaking at a security meeting with leaders of Rumuolumeni community at the government House Port Harcourt on Friday.
He 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,” he said.
He also 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.
Also speaking, Mustapha Dandaura, the state commissioner of police, said almost all communities have been overrun by cultists.
He said security agencies cannot watch the situation degenerate.
Dandaura commended Wike for donating vehicles to the security agencies to fight crime. He assured that security agencies will intensify the battle against crime to achieve results.
Bobrisky, the suspected criminal, also shares a familiar nickname with Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, controversial internet personality and cross-dresser, who is usually referred to as “male Barbie doll,” by his numerous fans.
