Wike redeems N30m bounty promise to police on arrest, killing of Bobosky

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has redeemed the N30 million bounty he promised anyone with information that would lead to the arrest of the notorious criminal captured and killed last week, Honest Digbara, a.k.a, Bobisky.

The Secretary to the State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, while handing over the N30m cheque to the police on behalf of Wike said that he was elated that the police force and the public worked assiduously to ensure the capture of the criminal.

“Governor Wike will continue to stand by his words, as this is not the first time such redemption is occurring in the State. If we can recall when the Governor made a promise over Don Wani, a criminal who disturbed the peace of ONELGA, all security agencies and citizenry were activated to capture him, and the pledge was also redeemed”, Danagogo said.

The State Commissioner for Police, Joseph Mukan, disclosed this to journalists during a briefing at the State Command on Thursday.

Mukan described Wike as a promise keeper and assured that the command under his watch will continue to do its best to ensure the State is crime-free.
