The Chairman of the Niger Delta Dialogue Policy Advocacy Committee in Rivers State, Rear Admiral Nicolas Bakoo says 80 per cent of traditional rulers and stakeholders that should be a point of call on security issues do not stay in their communities, and urged the commissioner of police to withdrawn security agents attached to such individuals.
He made the call when he led members of the committee to pay a courtesy visit to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan at the command’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
He also emphasised that 80 per cent of local government chairmen do not reside in their localities but rather stay in Port Harcourt, adding that the officers have failed to provide security in their domains because they were hardly available to get needed information as the first point of contact in the local government areas.
