River state government has re-lunched River State security outfit, C41.
The state governor, Nyesom Wike who disclosed the development on his official Facebook page stated that the re-lunched of the outfit is to foster securities challenge in the state.
Wike said “In pursuit of our desire to ensure the safety of lives and property in Rivers State, we today re-launched Rivers State’s security outfit tagged C4I.
We have made appreciable success in the area of security but we wouldn’t read on out oars. Personnel of the outfit which comprises of 400 policemen and 200 civil defence personnel have in the last one month been specially trained in relevant skills to ensure they can carry out their duty efficiently.
It is obvious security agencies in Rivers State have made significant progress in securing the state but with C4I we intend to take it a step further by adopting a proactive policing approach and nipping the effort of criminals in the bud.
C4i vehicles branded with their Local Government Areas of responsibility have been deployed to each Local Government Area in the state. To further boost our security in the riverine areas, in the next few weeks the state government would donate a total of fifteen gunboats to the Navy, Army and Police in Rivers State.
We appreciate the Inspector General of Police represented by AIG Zone 16, Austin .I. Agbonlahor and other service Commanders that attended the launch.”
