Gov. Diri Visits Chief Ikiogha, Osain over recent Dynamite attacks

 ... charges security agencies to apprehend culprits, bring them to book

His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State today visited Chief Diekivie Ikiogha and Hon. Freedom Osain over the dynamite attack in their residences on the 9th of November, 2023, building up to the last gubernatorial election in the State. 

Governor Diri accompanied by the new Commissioner of Police, Francis Idu and the Director of the Department of Security Services (DSS) in the State, assured Bayelsans that the perpetrators would not go free.

The Governor also charged them to apprehend the culprits and bring them to book.


"We will all agree that from the inception of this administration, we have not experienced this kind of dynamite throwing not until the former actors of dynamite came to the scene and from when they started what they know best, the State became jittery. 

So, my brother, I wanted particularly our leading security agency which is the Police and the other very leading agency again which is the Department of Security Services to come with me to hear from you.

And I like to assure you that this act will not go free. We will not allow this act of terrorism to go free. 

I charge the security agencies to go after those who have committed this dastardly act and ensure that they are apprehended and they must be taken to court and let the law take its course. 

That will act as a deterrent to any one of them who thinks that they have done something today. It's either they come back and face the law or forever they leave Bayelsa State and take their criminality outside the State but wherever they are in Nigeria, they will be fished out," said Governor Diri.
Hon. Freedom Osain is the Commissioner representing Yenagoa Local Government Area in the Local Government Service Commission.
