Security agencies have been urged to step up efforts, particularly in the area of carrying out surveillance on the waterways to maintain the existing peace in the state.
Bayelsa State Governor Hon. Seriake Dickson, who stated this at the state security council meeting, said the call has become imperative in view of the on going boundary dispute in Oluasiri territory of Nembe Local Government area.
Governor Dickson noted that effective patrol of the area, which is riverine would go a long way in forestalling possible breakdown of law and order.
While stating that Bayelsa State has been consistently rated as one of the most peaceful states in the country, the Governor said the development was attributable to the gallant efforts of the various security agencies in the state.
Governor Dickson expressed confidence in their ability to continually combat crime, observing that there has been a significant reduction in cult and other criminal activities.
Hon. Dickson also seized the opportunity to formally receive the new Commander of the Forward Operations Base, Cape Formosa, Egweama, Brass, Navy Captain Livingstone Izu and the State Comptroller of Prisons, Mr. John Mrabure .
He paid glowing tributes to the out-gone officers, Navy Captain Aminu Hassan and Mr. E.J Enwezor for their meritorious services to the state and wished them well in their future endeavours.
