A
former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, has assured the people of the state that those involved in the killing
of Rivers people on New Year Day will face the wrath of the law.
Amaechi
gave the hint in Omoku, the headquarters of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government
Area of Rivers State on Saturday, when he paid a condolence visit to the
bereaved families.
The
minister, who wept when addressing the people said, “The only thing I can
assure you is that the perpetrators of this act will be brought to justice.
They cannot run away from it. They can’t get away with this.
“I
was at the hospital to see a little boy that was shot, and his father and
mother killed. How do you want that little boy to live? How would he cope in
life? They must pay for their actions.”
The
minister accused the Nyesom Wike-led administration in Rivers State of failing
to protect the lives of Rivers people.
